According to lore, David Ogilvy famously said that
This is our rallying cry! For us, the answer doesn’t lie in data or facts themselves, but instead from the insights that emerge. In today’s data-driven world, we believe this statement rings even more true than before.
Based on this fundamental belief around the role of research, we started our own consultancy in 2018 and named it Lamppost Insights. We designed the company to support our brand partner’s immediate needs, but more importantly, to illuminate and inspire the best path forward.
