Exploring the application of

It generates insights by interacting with individuals in their natural
environment, looking at how the widEr CulTurE is manifested in their
daily lives
Anthropology is a holistic, qualitative
approach to the study of human behaviours
We do this by fully immersing ourselves into the myriad
mysteries of a culture- to experience the elusive,
become initiated into strange new lands making the
bewildering and bizarre, just brilliant
We then apply these findings to help come up with
strategic solutions.
We DEPLOY the expertise and ethnographic skills of cultural
researchers to translate consumer thinking, finding
culturally-appropriate and commercially relevant solutions
to sticky situations.

Viewing people in
their natural
environment
Capture behaviour in context
Both metaphorically & physically putting ourselves in
their shoes. Viewing facilities make us spectators, viewing
our subjects in a caged captivity. is a false reality of
captivity, unlike the wilderness and realness of the
jungle.
This also forces us to think on our feet, by not relying
on scripts
Anthropology IS inherently
nosy. WE dig for deep insights;
translating consumer thinking,
and finding commercial
solutions within a cultural
framework- WE THINK that brand
strategy should pay more heed
to consumer behaviours as being
messy, multidimensional, and
comprehensible, only with
close reference to their
specific cultural context.

*Ethnography immerses the project team in participants
lives and enables a relationship to develop with research
participants over the period of study;
*Ethnography provides a rich source of visual data and helps
to reveal unarticulated needs;
*Ethnography captures behavior in the different contexts of
everyday life;
*Ethnography places a human face on data through real-life
stories that teams can relate to and remember;
*Ethnography provides understanding behind statistics;
*Ethnography allows emotional behavior to be captured;
By carrying out research in the everyday life
environments of participants it helps to identify
