Challenge accepted.

We take on your customer challenges – like they are our own. 

We design the research to create the insight needed to solve these challenges – together.

Customer IQ is the insight consultancy for insight-hungry business leaders (people just like you).

We love insight just as much as you do. But we can (and want to) do it even better. 

Here’s how we are different:

1. Deeper understanding

We make more effort to really understand your organisation and its challenges.

This allows us to recommend what is absolutely needed in terms of research and insight.

2. Smarter process

Adopting a lean, tech-enabled research process allows us to drive speed and efficiency.

This is how we rapidly deliver high quality, human driven insight.

3. Better service levels

Our clients enjoy director level, highly experienced researchers from start to finish.

And we don't run away when the research is done. We stick around to help you implement it (often where the real challenge starts).

4. Easier to work with

Perhaps above all else, we make it super easy for you to work with us.

Feedback from clients often reflects that we genuinely feel like one of the team.

We are proud to represent the southwest region of the UK.

We are based just outside of Bath.
