Developing Personas for Effective Brand Strategy

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Ruby Cha Cha is an innovative and highly collaborative agency that customised their approach based on our needs & budget. They challenge the status quo & exceeded our expectations at every turn.

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 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.

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.

The team at Ruby Cha Cha were professional and efficient. Their advice on the methodology of the project added great value and I really appreciated their expertise. Great insights and valuable information that’s really helping to guide our next steps; I’d be delighted to work with them again! Thank you!

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.

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.
