Our Insights Services for Brands

Brand Perception & Campaign Tracking (Blackbox BrandTrack)

In a fragmented attention economy, tracking brand health isn’t just about awareness—it’s about relevance, emotional resonance, and shareability. Blackbox BrandTrack is built for this reality. We go beyond legacy equity scores to track how your brand is truly performing: sentiment shifts, content engagement, dwell time, and even virality. Backed by real-time analytics and dynamic dashboards, we give you the tools to act—not just observe. Our approach allows you to monitor your brand’s pulse, understand what’s working, and refine strategy in the moment, not after the fact.

CX Studies & Customer Journey Mapping

We uncover what makes customers stay, switch, or disengage in today’s attention economy—mapping journeys across touchpoints to help you design more seamless, human-centred experiences. Our CX work gives you tactical clarity and strategic direction, from quick wins to long-term transformation.

Real-Time Decision Support

Markets shift fast. So should your insight. Our Dialogue platform and always-on tools allow you to pulse-check sentiment, test options in real time, and react with precision—perfect for campaign pivots, risk management, and rapid prototyping.

Product Innovation & Pricing Research

From early ideas to fine-tuned pricing models, we stress-test your product from every angle—using conjoint, TURF, pricing ladders, and behavioural diagnostics to make sure you're solving the right problem and capturing value.

Insights-to-Advocacy Content

We turn findings into thought leadership. Whether it’s a white paper, infographic, or stakeholder brief, our in-house content engine helps you shape narratives, demonstrate value, and build authority.

Employee Engagement & Organisational Insight

Your strategy is only as strong as the people executing it. We decipher employee sentiment, identify culture drivers, and surface hidden friction points. Our hybrid approach—mixing behavioural insight, deep listening, and stakeholder dialogue—helps leadership teams make smarter internal decisions and craft messaging that builds alignment and trust.

Market Segmentation & Persona Profiling

We build nuanced customer profiles based on behaviour, beliefs, and unmet needs—not just age and income. This helps you prioritise high-potential segments, personalise outreach, and invest with confidence.

Campaign Uplift & Brand Impact

Marketing spend only matters if it moves the needle. Our uplift studies isolate the real-world impact of your campaigns—quantifying what drove awareness, consideration, or conversion across channels. We apply controlled testing, brand lift analysis, and sentiment tracking to understand not just reach, but resonance. With Blackbox, you don’t just know that a campaign worked—you know why it worked, for whom, and how to do it better next time.

Creative & Content Testing

In an attention-scarce world, creative needs to land instantly. We test everything from campaign concepts to influencer videos using in-context simulations and sentiment analytics to predict performance. Our frameworks measure emotional impact, message clarity, recall, and engagement across channels—helping you de-risk campaigns before launch. From fast-turn testing to live A/Bs, we optimise creative to perform, not just look good.

Go-To-Market Testing & Opportunity Assessment

Entering a new market or launching a new product requires more than a good idea—it demands rapid, precise intelligence. Blackbox combines agile research with advanced digital tools to help you size the market, validate demand, assess competitors, and optimise your offer before launch. Our in-context testing, predictive analytics, and mobile-first feedback tools dramatically shorten time-to-insight, enabling first-mover advantage and reducing risk. In today’s market, that speed is strategy.

Strategy-Ready Deliverables

You won’t just get data—you’ll get insight that lands. We deliver C-suite-ready outputs that support strategy decks, investor briefs, and internal alignment, without the clutter or lag of traditional research reports.

Campaign Uplift & Brand Impact

We help agencies prove what worked.

Our Research and Insight Services
for Policymakers.

Public Sentiment & Community Tracking

Public expectations shift fast—especially in times of uncertainty. We give governments a continuous read on how communities are thinking and feeling, using always-on platforms, recurring surveys, and thematic deep dives. Our insights capture trust levels, policy reception, national mood, and emerging concerns—helping leaders act with foresight, not hindsight. Whether you need a quarterly tracker or rapid-response polling, we deliver real citizen intelligence you can count on.

Policy Design & Impact Evaluation

Policies only succeed if they solve real problems and deliver real outcomes. We support the full policy lifecycle—from early-stage scoping and testing to post-implementation analysis. Our mixed-method frameworks combine quantitative evidence with citizen narratives to assess effectiveness, surface unintended consequences, and identify opportunities for refinement. This isn’t just evaluation. It’s policymaking with the lights on.

Stakeholder Alignment & Consultation

Great policies need broad support. We facilitate structured consultation with key stakeholders—across ministries, agencies, NGOs, and communities—to surface competing views, build consensus, and ensure shared ownership. Our approach combines strategic facilitation, anonymised feedback channels, and stakeholder mapping to help governments move from intention to alignment.

Political Polling & Campaign Strategy

When the political stakes are high, guesswork won’t do. We provide independent, statistically sound polling that measures leadership perception, policy resonance, and electoral dynamics. We also support political offices and comms teams with sentiment tracking and audience segmentation that inform both governance and campaign strategy—especially when trust and timing are critical.

Behavioural & Regulatory Research

Regulations shape how people act—but only if they reflect how people really behave. We apply behavioural science, qualitative research, and field experiments to understand motivations, barriers, and workarounds. Whether you're designing a compliance regime, nudging uptake, or reducing friction, our insights help make rules smarter and more human.
