Understanding Modern Australian Women Through Research

The Context icon

The Context

The product, commercial and editorial teams needed to understand and identify the joys, successes, tensions and pain points women are facing these days.

Through uncovering these, they could best decide on what the focus areas should for both written and video content.

The Challenge icon

The Challenge

A digital arm of a print media conglomerate approached Ruby Cha Cha during the planning process for their new website…

The website aimed at the modern day Australian woman – covering a range of content areas such as: dating, style, well-being, people stories and thought pieces.

The Journey icon

The Journey

Ruby spoke to social connectors and mavens through online communities and face-to-face qual, exploring:

Media consumption: e.g. what happens if social media is taken away?
Tensions: through our Brand Magic approach, we developed ‘provocations’ to create debate
Reaction to whimn: the ethos, the style and the name

The Results icon

The Results

We delivered the key themes where whimn has licence to develop content for – with guidance on the articulation needed for different topic areas.

Results were presented to a wide range of stakeholders, including: C-suite, product development and the editorial team.

We’ve worked with Ruby Cha Cha for more than 10 years, and what keeps us coming back is their ability to get beyond the research and understand what really matters to our business. Over that time, they’ve become far more than an external research agency. They feel like a genuine extension of our team. We trust them with our toughest questions, knowing they’ll bring not only deep experience but also fresh thinking and a perspective.

What sets Ruby Cha Cha apart is their rare combination of rigorous thinking, commercial instinct and genuine curiosity. They don’t simply present data or tell us what consumers said, they help us understand what it means for our business, challenge our assumptions when needed, and turn insights into clear, actionable recommendations. Their work has influenced many of our most important decisions over the years, making them a trusted and valued partner in our growth journey.

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.

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.

Over a number of years in partnering with Ruby Cha Cha across a couple of different industries and channels, I have found Ruby to be highly experienced, knowledgeable across a multitude of disciplines, flexible to working within small and medium budgets, and incredibly service-oriented.

I have always found Ellen and her team to be genuinely interested and enthusiastic in my projects and able to deliver a customised approach to the briefs. I consider Ruby to be one of the leading agencies in the field of market research and they continue to be my go-to experts for all things market research.

The Ruby Cha Cha qualitative research debrief was very well received by the Corporate Segment Committee this morning – 10 Trans-Tasman Corporate shakers and movers. There were insightful questions and comments, and engagement was strong with people coming forward to get closer at the innovative research. One said it was “excellent”, and another said, “this analysis is complete, it’s time for action!” Thanks again for the stress-free research experience and high-quality work.

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.
