Process

The project was anchored in qualitative research with a cross-section of customers and non-customers, including a hard-to-reach B2B segment. Rex managed end-to-end recruitment, interviews, analysis and presentation of results.


Our approach was collaborative - we shared emerging findings in real time and facilitated workshops to collaborate on project outcomes. 


Alongside primary research, the project included extensive secondary analysis to build a clear view of the company’s market positioning and its competitive landscape. Rex also provided additional context on the Singapore market, offering cultural nuance and local insight that enriched the findings.
