Bushfire Impact Research

Ellen Baron and the Ruby Cha Cha team have worked with me and my team to redefine and reposition the WIMR brand. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Ellen – her approach is highly professional, engaging, intelligent and collaborative. As a marketing professional and having operated my own consultancy, at the outset I wanted to be sure that the rigour and strategic approach to the project would be exemplary, and would deliver great results. Ellen has gone above and beyond in working with us, navigating a complex organisation and diverse stakeholders. Ellen is focussed, pragmatic, highly experienced and she brings a sense of humour and fresh, dynamic perspective. Ellen is passionate about her work – she truly invests and cares about her work and her clients. I am delighted with the strategic outcomes, and I know we will continue to collaborate on projects into the future. Thank you Ellen for your considered, strategic and insightful approach.

Ruby Cha Cha went above and beyond for our research project. We were restricted by a very tight timeframe – but the project was completed on time and the results were more than we could have asked for. We were able to gain valuable insights into our members and their needs and wants. We have no hesitation in recommending Ruby Cha Cha to anyone and will definitely use them again.

We had a tight time frame and you delivered, and the results are so powerful and will go a long way to helping us form our future endeavours.

Ruby Cha Cha love a challenge! We have had some tricky business issues and Ruby Cha Cha stepped up to the plate to partner us with innovative solutions. They have a unique blend of curiosity, courage, creative and critical thinking together with being great communicators. They applied these skills and their experience to our business problem to generate a creative research solution which delivered actionable business outcomes.

Excellent, thoughtful and well-presented insight from this boutique, Sydney research agency. Extensive experience of consumers and categories. An engaging, accessible and super-smart team. Highly recommended.

Ruby Cha Cha has enabled us to reach and inform residents who rarely have a voice in decision making … Ruby has explored the challenges posed by rapid growth and constrained budgets and the implications that these realties ultimately have on the customer experience. The Community Stakeholder work was instrumental in better decision making for the council. Their ability to connect with audiences from residents, through to businesses, senior stakeholders and the Councillors was extraordinary.

Ruby Cha Cha conducted research with our members in order to help us develop strategic solutions to drive our union into the future. The team used innovative techniques to help us truly understand our members and the way they view their profession and our organisation. Ruby Cha Cha’s research identified some important opportunities for us to improve our positioning and we are now taking some important and informed next steps to ensure we are well placed to continue to represent our members well into the future.

From a design company’s perspective, Ruby Cha Cha’s report is a refreshingly clear and ‘visual’ document. Over the years I’ve seen lots of good research reports that are strong on intellectual rigour and insights but short on the sort of reference to help everyone share the same interpretation of the results. The visual approach in this report is a great benchmark setting and team alignment way to present the results. And speaking from a design perspective, makes interpreting how the results might influence the way the brand looks, feels and behaves, much easier.

Ruby Cha Cha is our research partner for all strategic work. Highly recommend them, due to their insightful and actionable recommendations and true partnership style. Their opinion is well respected in the business I work in from the CEO down.

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value. Had a fantastic experience conducting focus groups with Ruby Cha Cha. They worked quickly and efficiently to recruit participants on our short timeline. Ellen was an A+ moderator for our groups and ensured quality participation from all. Will absolutely work with them again!

I found choosing the right research partner for our business’ needs to be challenging as there’s a lot of choice out there. I wanted an agency who would understand our business needs, our budgets and importantly, the broader FMCG consumer & shopper. Ruby Cha Cha was recommended to me by a former colleague and after our first meeting I knew the project would be in safe hands with them.

The Ruby team helped us evolve the brief and design the research to deliver again our core needs. Ellen and the team had a great natural ease with the groups and shoppers which enabled them to really get to the heart of the key consumer and shopper behaviours we were looking at. The insights we have uncovered from the project have enabled us to build a stronger understanding of our brand and to plan effectively for the future. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend working with the Ruby Cha Cha team.

We consider the team at Ruby like an extension of our own. They understand consumers so well and are real experts in delivering insights and understanding not just consumer verbatims
We can always rely on the Ruby team for strong strategic thinking, fresh thinking in research approaches and high quality debrief material. I would really recommend working with the Ruby business if you want to unlock fresh consumer understanding …and of course they are also a lot of fun!

Working with the Ruby Cha Cha team on some of our recent innovation projects has been a pleasure. A key value add the team bring to the innovation process for us is in the way they do the ‘hard yards’ of mining existing information and research for category trends prior to any workshop. This allows subsequent workshops to be much more focused and helps bring all attendees quickly up to speed with what’s going on in any category. For the workshop itself the focus on consumer first is key for us in creating innovation that truly speaks to consumer needs. I would recommend Ellen and her team as a key contact to kick off any innovation process.
