Studying Humans In The Wild™
CX JOURNEYS
Since its inception in 2000, the Spearfish team has been exploring the consumer experience through journeys which closely examine the mindset behind every kind of brand consideration and decision.
We help marketers understand and appreciate the rational and emotional underpinnings of consumer behavior. Why consumers lapse. Why they take decisive, often unpredictable action. What triggers interest, consideration and selection. The why’s behind the reasons. All brought to you by our unique approach: Studying Humans in the Wild.
If you and your team want to explore your brand at a deeper, more meaningful level, sign up for the next expedition. We’ll introduce you to consumers in the wild.
“Our admiration for your interview skills is huge. Your follow-up questions always help you plunge deeper for more answers. Thank you for keeping our executive team focused and keeping things light in our strategic planning sessions. I can tell the team is really responding to you.”
Lewis Shaw
Chairman, Jackson Shaw
“My mentor, Norman Brinker, often said to never stop learning, and when inquiring about what to study, he would reply that to be successful you had to be a good student of Human Behavior. And though developing a good gut for decision making is quite useful, when we really needed to know something I always chose Spearfish! Anyone can bury you with slides and information. Dwight Fletcher and his Spearfish team get you the answers you need.”
John Miller

“Stellar work! Your insights reports are very interesting. Your research was very well received within the organization, and we refer to it often. In fact, your findings helped us create an unusually high-scoring radio campaign.”
