Carefully Screened Respondents + Skilled Interviewers = Uncommon Insights

The BHG research team is well-trained to uncover the emotional triggers driving brand selection and adoption behavior.

Our philosophy for brand success is founded on the belief that insight into human emotion is the key to competitive advantage. Our researchers seek to explore how the brands we represent create special meaning in the customer’s or prospect’s life. We specialize in one-on-one, in-depth interviews and small group discussions, which can be conducted in-person or online. No matter the venue, we use projective techniques, team exercises and skilled probing to reveal the underlying emotional reasons an individual selects and adopts a brand. Our process involves:
