Influencing Pharmacy Buyer Decisions

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 is an engaging and experienced team that worked closely with us to define our market research goal and work out the best way to go about achieving it within our timings and budget. Their quantitative work on our NPD concepts exceeded our expectations and has been very beneficial in developing our future brand plans. We will definitely be using Ruby Cha Cha again.

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!

The Ruby team worked in partnership with the mycar marketing and leadership team to undertake a large qualitative and quantitative segmentation and customer satisfaction study in the middle of the pandemic, which played an integral role in the relaunch of the mycar brand and its overall strategic direction. Ruby Cha Cha were able to pivot quickly, think creatively and apply skill and clever thinking to ensure mycar got the strategic insights that would drive effective decision making. We now view the segmentation as a living, breathing document referred to everyday at mycar.

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.

I have been working with the awesome Ruby Cha Cha team for the past 7-8 years now. Ellen & the Ruby team are fantastic to collaborate with, always willing to partner to solve business challenges. The in-office Customer forums they’ve run for us at Uber are shattering one-way mirrors with our customers and driving quicker decision making and employee engagement – highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have worked with Ruby Cha Cha for over a decade. I always find that they work hard to get to the nub of the issues and come up with insightful actionable outputs. They think outside of the box and design innovative approaches and they bring stakeholders along on the research journey, instilling confidence and understanding. A recent study on Bushfires that they conducted highlighted their flexibility and ability to refocus in light of challenging circumstances. The resulting report was to the usual exceptional standard and was part of a submission to a Royal Commission. I would recommend Ruby Cha Cha to anyone who is seeking rigorous research that produces actionable outcomes.

Aside from wanting to share how successful the metro masthead brand campaign “We’re For You” has been – we are seeing great awareness and positive impact on the brand perceptions and consideration – which Ruby Cha Cha were instrumental in getting over the line.
