• Market research is broken

    Running the same type of approaches over and over and expecting breakthrough insights? That’s the definition of—well, boring research.

    Nimbly was born out of the idea that to uncover new perspectives and challenge the status quo, we must do things differently, from the way we recruit to the way we present.

  • Make you say,"Aaah-ha!"

    ….or EEEP! Or, our favorite, Holy $%%!

    We’ll first uncover the unique, relevant human truths; and then illuminate them in a truly inspiring way—that you and your stakeholders actually want to see (no long, boring research decks here!).

  • We got this

    Our team has led up research for some of the most iconic and challenger brands of our lifetime—across tech, gaming, CPG, advertising & comms, finance and nonprofits.

    We also paint like Picasso, bake like Martha, and travel like Dora. It’s our unique, life experiences—fueled by a culture that encourages them—that allows us to see the world through different eyes.

  • Insights alchemists

    Our superpower is the ability to take seemingly unrelated learnings from People, Culture and the World and organize them into a clear strategy for your brand.

    The output’s a beautiful blend of data and human emotions that’ll make you cry, laugh, and inspired on what your brand can do next.

"We worked with Nimbly on a global consumer insights project. It was particularly challenging due to being broad in scope and without a clear hypothesis. However, Nimbly definitely rose to the occasion! They were quickly able to demonstrate a solid grasp of the key areas that could drive the most interesting insights, and helped evolve the project on the fly and push to go deeper to ensure we got great value.

They were able to take a higher-level strategic view to drive the direction, whilst also mining a huge amount of qual to find the gold. Their storytelling skills were great-and they delivered a report with clear structure and insights that has been much praised internally."
