Sandy began eXploring™ in 1997 when she was living in Asia. Being a young strategist in an unfamiliar part of the world and not speaking the local language, she needed to find a way to connect with her client’s consumers. She was knowledgeable enough, but was lacking the empathy and understanding it would take to help her clients grow their business. She found this understanding through eXploring™ — stepping out of the office and directly into consumers’ lives.
eXploring™ Deep Dives: These sessions put you in direct contact with your consumers on their turf. It’s a deep dive into their lives to help you ‘feel’ what motivates and inspires them. These sessions are not designed to test propositions, but instead are there to help expose you to the real lives of real people, not respondents. Many of our clients use these sessions to help understand the meaning behind their data, taking them from a place of knowledge, to true understanding.
