Testing Creative Concepts for Kids' Sports Campaigns

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.

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 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 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.

We had a great experience working with Ruby Cha Cha recently working on the multi beverage brand tracking that was very complex. The team were highly professional, collaborative, thoughtful and provided expert advice to ensure that our project succeeded. Thank you, Mandy, Fiona and Ellen, for your insightful and considered approach to our complicated market research brief. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with you all into the future.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
