vital Findings was created in a moment of realization (and frustration) that most insights projects were delivered DOA. Flat, inert, lifeless.
Vital is the key word – just as a doctor might seek the vital signs of health, we are looking for the ideas that can bring new life to a brand or business. If insights can inspire rather than just expire, we believe they can drive substantial business and organizational impact.
A Vital relationship has three core elements:

creativity
Creativity is core to who we are. Our team is encouraged to think outside the box, embracing innovative methodologies and solutions designed around your business’ unique needs. We revel in challenging conventional research norms and exploring new frontiers.

Storytelling & Design
Story is everything. We translate data into captivating narratives and visuals and bring insights to life in a way that people can see, feel and understand. Design, in our hands, is more than an embellishment; it’s a bridge between complex information and practical application.

Collaborative Partnerships
We value genuine partnerships and view each brand relationship as a collaborative journey. Our relationships are built on trust, respect, and a shared vision for what market research can accomplish.
