Qualitative Research Agency
Getting beneath the surface to understand the “why”
When you need to go beyond the numbers, qualitative research is how you uncover what really drives your customers – their motivations, emotions, and decision-making moments.
At Clusters, our qualitative research services help brands understand the people behind the data. Whether you’re exploring new markets, testing a proposition, or simply trying to understand your audience better, our qualitative insights reveal the why behind the what – giving you the clarity to make confident business decisions.
Our qualitative research offering:
Focus groups and workshops
Bringing together small groups of people to discuss ideas in an open and interactive environment. Ideal for testing creative concepts, campaigns and product ideas.
In-depth interviews
One-to-one or paired conversations that allow us to explore attitudes, beliefs and behaviours in detail – perfect when the topic is sensitive or highly personal.
Online and mobile ethnography
Understanding real-world behaviour through diaries, video journals and digital communities. These methods give an authentic view of how people live, shop and interact with your brand.
Hybrid and mixed-method studies
Combining qualitative and quantitative research gives you both the depth and the scale – understanding not only what people do, but why
