Got a supplier list? Here are our specialisms, tools, topics and industry areas
What do we do? Here’s a snapshot in one place
We’ve recently been connecting with decision makers across research, engagement and procurement teams about past work we’ve done to support them. As part of these conversations, we’ve been asked, “what other kinds of things do you do?”
We’ve heard that some teams have a list of suppliers that they’d consider working with in the future. And we understand that it can be helpful in this spreadsheet to have a summary of what each of the suppliers do.
So, below you’ll find an overview about what we do: our specialisms, tools and techniques, topic areas and industry areas.
