Request: Understanding Mums - a presentation »
Today, April 17th we presented alongside NetMums and Unity PR
Understanding Mums is a presentation that brings together facts about the demographic and commercial power of mums, strategies for harnessing the online influence and a warning about the 'sting in the tail' from the 'hive mind'.
It was wonderful to see Black and Decker sitting alongside Boden - this really is a topic for a wide range of brands.
Thanks Unity PR for organising the event - great stuff.
Request: The Play Report: Ribena Plus »
Earlier this year we were commissioned, on behalf of Ribena Plus, to look at Children's Play.
As previously noted in the BBC Radio 4 Fourthought lecture given by Paul Flatters, we believe that there is a lot to be positive about when it comes to the lifestyle, values and behaviours of children today. In this report we asked 2,000 parents about play - how confident they felt in getting involved in play, whether they wanted children to be outside, to be creative, to use everyday objects. With some great input from experts in the field of childhood wellbeing and play, this report is certainly helping to fuel the debate.

Request: Videos that have caught our eye »
Now and again we see video's that we think capture a trend or bring information to life very cleverly...we're not passing them off as ours, or indeed anything to do with us - but we think they are great and are keen to share them...and sometimes we create our own..
Statistics brought beautifully to life:
Demographics:

Towards the end of 2011, Consumer organisation - Which? commissioned Trajectory to evaluate the impact of the financial downturn. To understand the premise of the much-discussed (but little understood) 'Squeezed Middle - do they exist? Are they Middle Class or Middle Income?
We introduce the 3D Squeeze and ask public and private sector organisations to reconsider who is really feeling the squeeze.

Whether we are using public data or our own, we are always looking for ways of 'telling a story' and explaining change. This 20 second animation compares the trajectory of growth in GDP per capita across the USA, Japan, India and China to highlight one of the fundamental reasons why China is such an interesting story of growth.
