Access our consumer insights and leverage our communication skills to deliver impact and shape opinion.

Typically, this involves either Bernard or Simon speaking at an event—presenting findings—that can include a slide deck, a written report with summary foreword, video commentary and social media posts.

Our skill is in being able to turn data into insight and impact… that’s what we do. 

Advisory reports include bespoke analysis and graphics presented in a datapack.  Or it might be a report that is either fully or part written by Bernard and his co-directors at The Demographics Group. 

Other clients want help in designing surveys, in interpreting results and in developing and projecting an engaging narrative.

Advisory is headed by Sarah Read who has worked in demographics advisory for 20 years in Australia and in London.  Sarah is our Director of Advisory; she also heads our Sydney office.

Here’s how we work.  Generally, we discuss the issues by phone, then we meet (by Zoom), then we draft a proposal itemising deliverables, timeframes and costings, and then begin a project.  Every advisory project is bespoke and delivers some kind of impact. 

Advisory projects start with a phone chat.  Either email Sarah directly or call Fiona Evans on 0415 328 532 to request a call back from Sarah.
