STRAT7 Jigsaw | Data-Driven Business Insights & Research Agency

Making sense of human complexity

We’re a full service, strategic, international, multi-method insight agency.

But that’s not what defines us. We’re all about making sense of human complexity.

We know that people are unreliable witnesses to their own behaviour so we use a combination of insight expertise, creative problem solving and bespoke design to enable our clients to build successful strategies for change.

Our approach is based on a three point practical philosophy.

Experts in
human insight

We recognize that people are unreliable witnesses to their own behaviour, so we use multiple perspectives drawing on different models and disciplines to unlock those human truths... So our clients get more authentic, holistic understanding of their customers.

Creativity in problem
solving

We bring ideas and innovation to our clients’ challenges – ensuring our research is less process, and more inspiration. Our innovative approaches span qual and quant, always looking for the answers to help our clients succeed. Our Whycatcher platform, with its award winning WhatsApp functionality, is constantly evolving (obviously it now has AI functionality).

Bespoke research design

We design unique research programmes to answer each client brief – designing from scratch, with no black box solutions. This means drawing on classic and emerging methodologies (qual and quant, structured and unstructured data, all augmented by our AI toolbox) – integrating and innovating to get to the authentic answers that our clients need.

We have worked with Jigsaw on multiple occasions, and each time, they have exceeded our expectations. One aspect which sets Jigsaw Research apart is their commitment to understanding our unique business challenges. Rather than offering generic solutions, they take the time to tailor their approach, ensuring that the research is directly aligned with our objectives....

I’ve worked with Jigsaw on a number of complex projects since I took on my current role in 2018/19. They have been consistently brilliant. I have always been really impressed by how thoughtful they are, and their expertise in drawing out the nuanced insight. The team at Jigsaw is also incredibly collaborative – both with me and my team and other research partners – it makes them a real pleasure to work with.

TMT

I wanted to thank you and the team for once again facilitating our efforts and making the process so easy. Your support is well noticed and much appreciated by an ever-widening team. Your debrief for this campaign was the best yet – the entire team feeding back very positively. It gave a clear narrative and overall direction for our final published report. I’m already looking forward to the next project we’ll work on together...

Andrew McNair,

Director of Research and Benchmarking at NTT

Working with Jigsaw is an absolute pleasure. They always understand the brief and crucially add value & expertise to every project. I have worked with Jigsaw now in the three different client-side companies because of what they offer as a research agency.
