Our research and insights work seeks to paint the whole picture, in colour, for which we use our own framework to help inform this:
Heart & Head was founded in 2010 by Duncan Dodds, who having spent the first 15 years of his career working in traditional market research agencies in Europe and Asia, then went on to work as a strategic planner in an advertising agency, devising brand strategies and creative briefs and advising CMOs. It was here that Duncan realised that there was a gap to be filled: Heart & Head was born out of a passion to combine the breadth, creativity and business impact of strategic planning with the rigour and discipline of market research, just without the creative to sell.
Since 2010 Heart & Head has enjoyed working with brands across categories and markets ranging from long established 'global superstars', to newcomers just starting their journey. We pride ourselves on offering our clients however big or small their brand, what we feel are the essential ingredients of a successful and fruitful relationship: expertise, creativity, flexibility, resourcefulness, pragmatism and dependability. We gauge our success on the success of our clients in achieving their goals.
