Here’s how we’ve turned insight into action.
An insurer wanted to launch a new digital health proposition to help SMEs support their teams’ wellbeing.
We ran online and video interviews with SME decision-makers and employees to refine the idea, structure, and pricing.
The research revealed strong appetite — but also practical blockers around resources and perceived value.
Our recommendations helped reshape the offer for market fit, setting it up for a more confident, successful launch.
A financial provider wanted to understand how consumer decision-making had shifted since a similar study in 2019 — especially around foreign exchange purchases.
We surveyed 2,000+ consumers, used conjoint analysis to assess trade-offs (price vs. convenience), and built simulator models to forecast market scenarios.
The insights directly informed pricing strategy and service positioning — contributing to a measurable boost in market share.
Trusted by organisations in healthcare, finance, retail, and beyond.
Working together with Gusto has been like fitting a jigsaw together; we were able to build and improve what we needed to do and develop our thinking together. As a result, we were able to get insights that plugged our knowledge gaps and provide clarity around the direction we needed to travel.
