"Market research is only relevant if it gets to the heart of things – true to the Einstein quote 'You should make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler': market research must provide scientifically-founded explanatory models from which behavior can be predicted."
Dr. Stephan Telschow, Managing Director
Dr. Stephan Telschow is a sociologist. His enthusiasm for people's everyday lives was already evident in his doctorate on skateboarding and beach volleyball and continues in market research with among others a long-standing focus on shopper research. He also is responsible for business development and operations.
"Market research needs to translate the everyday, what people experience, yearn for and do into the complexities of marketing and branding. Recognizing the importance of details for the big picture is another thing that makes our work exciting."
