Cultural & Human Insights
A blend of methodologies to understand what people value, and the culture that shaped it.
For brands and organisations trying to understand what is really happening beneath the surface.
We bring together cultural scanning, fieldwork, observation and interpretation to reveal the social, emotional and behavioural forces influencing a category, audience or moment.
Cultural & Human Insights in action ?
We rarely use one method alone. Every project is built from the combination that answers your question best, in unique a Bricolage way
In conversation
Depth interviews, focus groups and friendship pairs — time with people to understand how they think, and why.
In the moment
Ethnography, shopalongs and pubalongs, in person or digital — being there while the behaviour actually happens.
In the culture
Semiotic study and cultural scanning — decoding the codes, symbols and narratives shaping a category.
At scale
Quantitative studies to size what we’ve found and prove where it matters most.
