Enhancing Community Care Models with Market 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
