PROJECTS
THE LEADER OF RUSSIAN ONLINE REAL ESTATE
CIAN had needed products for existing audience. In the course of work, we created a CJM with a (precisely) detailed path and found problematic stages on the path where launch of new products was possible.
As a result, our team put together a strategic plan and tactical steps, and launched a new product that is now being tested and grows continually.
BURGER BARS CHAIN WITH DESIGNER BURGERS
The company was building a new communication strategy and wanted to know its clients. We described audience segments as Jobs to Be Done. Found growth points for attraction of new clients and loyalty increase. Created Perceptual Map for accurate communication of the brands with audience.
Launched new advertisement campaigns, broadened its range based on the feedback and increased average bill by 15%.
THE LARGEST PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANY IN RUSSIA
The company had wanted to access a new segment and had been developing a strategy for Agents and Retail Brokers partnership areas. We created an CJM for the work with agents and insurance companies and created 4 personas. Found stages that affect attraction and a problematic stage that preceded the company’s funnel. We had highlighted the most problematic stages for the focus segments, and it became obvious what had to be fixed first in order to attract more insurances. We also noted the best and the worst methods applied by competitors in the work with agents and retail brokers.
Using these data, we created 2 digital products for agents and retail brokers and increased the number of active agents and retail brokers in the network two-fold.
You will receive a big picture of user-product interaction which will allow you to synchronize the work of all related subsidiaries.
You will know how to grow and profit more and what to focus on when making product decisions.
You will know what decisions are worth investing into and will increase the quality of tested solutions 6-fold.
You will have your audience segmented by buying criteria and motives which will allow you to lead it to target actions.
The turn-key approach: you’re doing what you want while the work is being done. No need to write specs, just discuss the end artifact: goals, developments, what you expect. A single briefing that takes 1.5 - 2 hours. No extra fuss. Trust is the main parameter. I don’t think I would have done it faster. Researchers are not about making arguments, there are business goals to be achieved. These guys get it.
We received basic knowledge of what we can and cannot do in different segments. Now we know what habits our audience has. We understand their paradigm and how to slowly change it.

You immediately see that these people are really invested in what they’re doing. No big talk, they do what must be done. Now we actively use JTBD, brain storm and look how our ideas relate to an artifact. Then we listen to our customers. Also, we have increased our average bill by 15%.
Previously, we had only dabbled with climate not understanding where to start and how to approach audience with this topic. The research gave us many insights we now use in the preparation of our communication strategy. Now we know what communication works and how important offline events are.
Thanks to the research we abandoned few hypotheses. The results can be used in different projects. Now when we discuss something we have a set of facts and details. Now we know whether we should do this or that. We chose these guys because of quality, good projects and experience in CJM.
Now we have a customer journey map based on real customer cases and a better understanding of our weak spots and of insights from our online shop clients.
The CJM we received provides many details that we use in our work and that stimulate the optimization of our website and the development of company services that benefit our clients.

Our clients say our service is at least twice less expensive compared to marketing agencies.
We can maintain such pricing because we don’t have a large back office and other major expenses that are not directly related to our researches.
We enjoy what we do and that’s why we give an additional discount to projects and industries we want to immerse into.

QUESTION:
WILL YOU UNDERSTAND SPECIFICS OF OUR INDUSTRY?
We have worked in more than 10 industries: insurance, investments, real-estate, banking, restaurants and many others.
We are ready to research stock market and then burger culture a month later. Every market has audience, sales funnels, communication channels and everything we study. We immerse into specifics and professional slang during expert interviews and use secondary information.

question:
WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT YOUR METODOLOGY?
When researching we don’t just study consumers and their behavior, we understand how this data can be applied to your business request. Every project has business goals from which we build up our questions and researches. As a result, our client receives confirmation or disproof of their initial hypotheses and generates new ones knowing what business variables they can influence.
First and foremost, we’re looking for information that will help you increase your profit.

question:
HOW MUCH TIME WILL IT TAKE?
The research takes 1.5 months on average. For startups — 3 weeks. It depends on the volume of work.
Go to FAQ
question:
WHAT METHODOLOGIES, PRACTICES, TECHNIQUES, TECHNOLOGIES DO YOU USE?
We never use one method and always combine different instruments and techniques.
For example, our favorite method is combining BPMN and CJM. We often create new visualization of the information we receive during the research because our main goal is to convey research results in the most clean and precise way and not to fill the data into a template that rather hinders the perception.
We use all currently existing product instruments: Lean Startup, Customer Development, Design Thinking. Frameworks: Customer Journey Map, Jobs to be done, Personas, Perceptual Map, Value Proposition Canvas.
