Perceptive isn't what you would expect, and we're not sorry about that!

We are not a traditional market research company. We are not your typical brand strategy firm and no, we're not an advertising agency. Think of us as a hybrid of all three, similar to all but not like any.

Perceptive is a talented group of researchers, brand strategists and planners who think big, like boundary-less big, even with our smallest clients.

We seamlessly integrate with other marketing agencies, using them for skill we don't have, and giving them skills they don't have. It sounds warm and fuzzy but nobody complains, especially not our clients.

Just ask 'em...

Chris Pescott

We are pragmatic bunch of people with different backgrounds and different ideas. We came together with a vision to take research that next step further, and inspire the market with our own blend of charisma, spawned from a culture of freedom and fearlessness.

Daniel Shaw

We are not experts in our client’s business... they are. What we are pretty good at is understanding their customers, and using those insights to develop strategies that connect with the customer through effective marketing, brand and communications.

Glen Wright

As the voice of your customers and stakeholders in your boardroom, we tell you what they want you to hear.

Jessica Charlesworth

Perceptive gives you the power to influence the way people think, the way they behave. We have that Kiwi go getter attitude, we are not afraid to win and we all have the freedom to do great things.

Jo Tovee

Perceptive brings a team of strategists, creatives, researchers, business experts and out of the box thinkers to the table, all with an unparalleled passion for marketing and committed to helping you get the most from your business.

Kristo Fallas

When a talented team tackles business issues prepared with a breadth of executable ideas and the passion to realise them, the resulting solution is often innovation. At Perceptive, we are that team.

Phil Edmondes-Rowe

A brand is defined by the way people perceive your product, your service, your company, your employees, your reputation, your quality, etc. We understand this challenge, we uncover the information and help you create a strategy that encompasses your consumer, your business... everybody. We discover these 'truths' and carry them all the way through your company, your products, your services... and into every communication and consumer touchpoint.

Sarah Harrison

Perceptive are more than just number crunchers... research is only part of the picture. We are a team dedicated to working with our clients to uncover what the numbers are saying and more.
