Studies

Every study begins with a question.

Some are commissioned. Some begin with something we noticed and could not stop thinking about. The subjects change — brands, products, places, experiences — the way of working does not.

01SPOTIFY

PRODUCT · CONSUMER · RESEARCH

03CERQUA ROSARA

HOSPITALITY · PLACE · BRAND

When the experience is richer than the story being told.

A study of an Umbrian residence whose physical character, handmade details, and sense of place were stronger than its digital expression — and how that gap could be closed.

04BEACHFRONT APARTMENT · MALLORCA

PLACE · HOSPITALITY · STRATEGY

Why does a Guest Favorite still score 4.7 on value?

A Superhost listing rated 4.85 with a value score the owner couldn't explain. Ten of eleven four-star reviews named the same small, fixable comforts — and the climbing season next door was going unpriced.

05STARGAZING TOUR OPERATOR

EXPERIENCE · BRAND · PHOTOGRAPHY

What do guests actually remember about a night sky?

The offer sold stargazing. Guests remembered the guide, the intimacy, and the feeling of being taken somewhere rare — so the story was rebuilt around the person, not the destination.

06PREMIUM HOME SERVICES BRAND

BRAND · CONSUMER · STRATEGY

What are customers praising when they aren't praising price?

A trusted service business with exceptional loyalty and a digital presence that under-communicated it. The real differentiator was emotional intelligence during a stressful life moment.
