Deep Dive

Our services in detail

Empirical personas: Really under­standing customers

Under­stand what your target group really needs and wants. Our team of psychol­o­gists and research profes­sionals method­i­cally decode the needs behind your customers’ behavior. Whether through in-depth inter­views, online surveys, obser­va­tions or exper­i­ments: We identify patterns in complex customer behavior and develop empirical personas that do not end up in a drawer, but become the strategic linchpin of all customer touch­points.

Experience labs: Better websites, stores and appli­ca­tions

Today, every major digital project must be accom­panied by user-centered method­ology. In the MVP, pilot and rollout phases, we consult with the people who will be using the digital interface. In our experience labs, we evaluate how well a product or appli­cation meets user needs on a task basis. We use interview, obser­vation and neuro-science methods. The result of an experience lab is a struc­tured evalu­ation of the existing stumbling blocks, from which we derive concrete measures.

Brand tracker: Keeping an eye on brand and market

IIn today’s fast-paced digital market­place, keeping track of your brand and your competitors can be a real challenge. With our brand tracker, you get a precise monthly or quarterly view of your brand’s perfor­mance and that of your competitors. This allows you to react quickly and manage your brand more effec­tively, even in inter­na­tional settings.

Trust tracker: Trust as the basis for long-term customer relation­ships

Trust is the foundation for any inter­action. But trust is hard to measure. With the elaboratum trust tracker, we identify the factors that are respon­sible for a lack of trust — globally, or contact point by contact point. Based on these findings, we develop effective measures to system­at­i­cally increase the trust of your customers.

ImpliX: Under­standing customers’ implicit decisions

Whether we like something or not is often decided subcon­sciously in the first few seconds. This is why it is often difficult for customers to describe moments of exitement and frustration after­wards. With ImpliX, we can measure uncon­scious percep­tions and decision aspects and can thus generate additional insights into the emotional experience in the customer journey in order to eliminate conversion killers and emotionally charge products.

Our Aspiration

We don’t like to talk about ourselves. But our customers do.
