We measure our success by our Clients’ success. Don’t you want a piece of that?

“I had the opportunity to work with heads up on a great branding project aimed at engaging with customers to get their insights. I found them to be creative, dynamic, engaged, quick and professional and always willing to think outside of the box to answer the business challenge. I found their strategic thinking and willingness to pivot on the exercises particularly key to success.”

– Senior Manager, Financial Planning/Banking

“I use heads up for our most difficult projects, what we call “thorny” problems, including topics like innovation and projects that need worldwide consumer input. Their cutting edge, co-creation techniques help us get to ground-breaking ideas and deep consumer insights. I can count on heads up to provide heavy-duty strategic input in an approachable and engaging way.”

– Managing Director, Marketing Consultancy

“Lisa Elder and the heads up team have worked with me on developing new brands strategies, product value propositions and go-to-market strategies. They are strategic, insightful, experienced and pragmatic. At each stage of the process — from their knowledge harvest, to helping uncover deep consumer truths, to developing strong strategic product positionings — their support is invaluable in creating innovative and breakthrough propositions.”

– CEO, Financial Planning/Banking

“Three words I associate with the heads up team: smart, committed, collaborative. Your team helped us every step of the way on a critical positioning project. The final results were thoughtful and thorough with a clear recommendation that made it easy and fast to move on to the next stage.”

– Director, Marketing Consultancy

“I’ve worked with heads up on projects from beer to cleaning products and most things in-between. They are always creative, engaged, smart, and ambitious about what you can get out of research. Everything is bespoke and everything is strategically useful.”
