Human Truth. It’s why we do what we do. And it’s the key to aligning your brand with what’s most meaningful to your customers.
Human Truth is complicated and often hidden – a unique product of a person’s biology, biography and environment. To find it, we must dig deeper. Human Truth is revealed only by identifying and analyzing the conscious and non-conscious motivations, values and subjective meanings that people use to make sense of the world.
Revealing Human Truth requires the unique talents and tools Brandtrust has perfected over two decades:
Change begins to happen when you ask the first question:
“Inquiry and change are not separate moments, but are simultaneous. Inquiry is intervention. The seeds of change—the things people think about and talk about, the things people discover and learn, and the things that inform dialogue and inspire images of the future—are implicit in the very first questions we ask. The questions set the stage for what we find, and what we discover (the data) becomes the linguistic material, the stories, out of which the future is conceived and constructed.”

Often, the fundamental questions you’d most like to address can seem the most elusive.
We uncover the Human Truth that brings them to light. For example, you might be asking:
How do people really feel about my brand?
What separates my most loyal customers from my average customers?
How can we truly put the customer at the heart of our decision-making process?
What is the patient experience and how can it be positively shaped by my brand?
Why aren’t people choosing my product when it works better and costs less?
What are the unmet needs where my brand could be making an even greater impact?
What drives my employees to get and stay engaged?
WHAT ARE THE NECESSARY CULTURAL FACTORS MY BRAND NEEDS TO CONSIDER UPON ACTIVATION?
Our trademarked approach is designed to better understand the deeper motivations of why people do what they do. We use memory and visualizations to tap into subconscious mental models embedded in formative experiences, and rely on dynamic probing to get beyond rationalizations and avoid priming.
Narrative Inquiry allows researchers to delve into the memory of consumers’ experiences through the stories they tell. Story helps researchers understand the context in which the memory was constructed and identify patterns which reveal the mental models that influence consumer behavior and perception.
This primarily observational-based approach reveals both the personal stories and environmental influencers driving perceptions and decision making. These insights are particularly effective in helping to identify actual behavior because of the ability to see respondents interacting within their own environment.
