AOCUBO PESQUISA
Ana Claudia Marques, and Graziela Thompson make up AOCUBO’s body of experts in qualitative and quantitative research, an articulated network initiative that works with collaborators from different fields depending on the needs of each project.
AOCUBO has vast knowledge on consumption and mastering retail methodologies, listens attentively and can recognize critical points, opportunities, innovation and trends beginning with an overall look, with different perspectives on the object or topic of study.
We make it easier for foreign companies to understand and cooperate with the dynamics of the Brazilian market and with the codes and signs of several local social groups.
The good stories must always be well-contextualized and framed. Your brand or service is not isolated, we must understand what was said, by whom, when, where and how.
A partnership to understand people, search for answers and point out paths.
AOCUBO’s way of researching
To use consolidated knowledge on market dynamics, brands and people’s behavior to gain insight on the experiences observed, the implications for society and for business.
To dive into the complexity, understand purposes and implications.
To provide a repertoire and inspiration from the real world using a transdisciplinary approach and ethics to set decision-making in a real and contextualized setting.
To give relevant knowledge and accessible information to the client, in a direct and agile way.
To broaden the world’s outlook for decision making.
To be business intelligence partners.
To ensure quality interaction and create an environment to foster the creative and reflective potential of everyone involved in the research: consumers, corporations, organizations and researchers.
To present relevant results in a clear and visual way.
To present the market scenario to foreign companies interested in working and/or knowing Brazil.
To work partnering with international institutions, translating Brazilians’ lifestyles and way of being and the different “Brazils”.
To observe through unique and complementary techniques. Covered observation, naturalistic observation and participatory observation are three approaches used as powerful resources to discover hidden or complex issues that the rational mind is not able to decipher.
