Our US team recently came together in Shawnee, PA for our annual Away Day—an unforgettable two-day offsite filled with connection, learning, and creativity. We tackled a LEGO case competition, tested our aim with archery, and ended the evening around a campfire with s’mores—all while sharpening our consultative skills through dedicated training sessions. For us, team building isn’t just about having fun (though there was plenty of that!). As an insight-led brand consultancy, we believe that the foundation for delivering deep, actionable insights to our clients is built on strong relationships and a genuine understanding of one another. These shared experiences help us collaborate more effectively and bring our best thinking to every client challenge. Thank you to everyone who brought their energy and enthusiasm to Shawnee! #USTeam #AwayDay #InsightDriven #BrandConsultancy #Collaboration #TeamDevelopment

Our UK team recently had the pleasure of coming together in London for our annual Away Day - a fantastic opportunity to step away from our daily routines and invest in building stronger connections across the team. As an insight-led brand consultancy, our focus is on deeply understanding the hearts and minds of our clients’ key customers. That work starts with the relationships and understanding we build among ourselves. The day was filled with engaging team-building activities, a bit of friendly competition with clay pigeon shooting, and plenty of time to enjoy great conversations. Experiences like Away Day are more than just fun—they lay the groundwork for the empathy, trust, and creative thinking that define our work and drive meaningful results for our clients. Thank you to everyone who made the day such a memorable experience. Here’s to continued teamwork and shared achievements! #TeamBuilding #InsightLed #BrandConsultancy #AwayDay #Collaboration #StrongerTogether
