SGC employs qualitative and quantitative research encompassing both primary and secondary methodologies to provide clients with customer insights. We believe research must lead to decisions, to actions and strategies that improve the long-term chances of success.

We like to think about people – who they are, why they buy, how they buy, what compels them to be who they are and how brands play a role in their life across all levels of involvement.
