Information is Power

We have been described as our clients’ secret weapon. We are a strategic marketing, brand and communications research firm who scour the marketplace seeking the critical insights - the rare gems - that inform and energise our clients’ strategy.

Our clients are organisations and brands that share our will to win, where winning equals growth in marketshare or profitability, and where information (delivered without bias) is power.

 Marketing Research

Marketing research is about providing management with the data and insights to make clearer, evidenced based decisions.

We describe it as providing “courage under fire".


Brand Equity

We strongly argue that:

BRAND = MARKET SHARE

Put simply, Brand Equity is future sales potential. If a brand study does not correlate strongly with changes in market share, it has failed to measure brand.

Drivers of Value and Choice in Marketing Research

 

We Value Quality

Our clients’ commercial decisions are never made lightly, and activities which impact on customers or on brand deserve exacting scrutiny. It follows that commissioned research must deliver the highest quality insights to inform those decisions.

To achieve this, the Forethought team is committed to applying the exacting standards of quality that can only come from being experts in our field. We are extremely choosy about who works with us, we recruit for talent and drive and our culture is built around excellence.
