Finance Business Partner

We have a world class agile market research platform. We help brands rewire their traditional ad & innovation development processes with insights early, often & connected to create a learning loop. The result? They get smarter over time. Insights teams have more impact. Brands launch better ads & products.

We were founded in 2012 with the dream of creating end-to-end automated research. Fast forward 10 years and we have 1,000+ happy customers, 100,000+ ideas tested and we operate in 50+ research markets. And we’re entering the next phase of our growth journey!

So how do we do it?

Our platform provides access to actionable, quick, and smart insights to amplify creative effectiveness and shape winning innovation, empowering creators with the agility and the data they need to make better decisions about the ads and innovation they take to market.

Through working with some of the biggest brands in the world, we’ve built technology that lets our customers see their product innovations and advertising ideas through their consumers’ eyes so they can quickly iterate, optimize, validate, and learn — increasing their chances of in-market success.
