OUR TEAM

At its heart business is really very simple – it’s only about making and maintaining relationships.
Social psychology has shown that you’re 3x more likely to start a relationship with people who match your language style (rather than things in common).

And language matching predicts longer, more loyal relationships, too. Your friends, your partner – chances are that’s why you’re together. It’s not that surprising when you think about it. Because the way we choose to express ourselves is loaded with our sub-conscious cues to our thinking. We’re using this psychology to help our clients build new, more loyal relationships.

Research Design

Margaret’s world-class experience with ‘clean language’ makes her an outstanding researcher. She is always involved in our panel listening design, where we scale up one-to-one listening for those issues where Bob has nothing to listen to directly. Margaret is truly the best human listener we’ve ever encountered.

Bob is so important to us he has his own page. Even though we invented him he’s taken on a life of his own. We’re constantly amazed at his insights and always excited to find out what he’s going to uncover next.
