Services

Insight Advantage provides clients with a bespoke and flexible approaches to tackle their business challenges.

  • Independence - As an independent agency, Insight Advantage is not obliged to promote any templated approaches. Each research project is bespoke, calling on a broad range of quantitative and qualitative research approaches and tools
  • Flexibility - Consumers, clients and market dynamics are always placed at the heart of any project to ensure flexibility.

Andrew takes the lead on all projects, ensuring that clients have access to an experienced research professional throughout the lifetime of their project, not just at the pitch meeting!
