Description
Firestar was established in 2001 to provide high level qualitative insight and cultural understanding across SE Asian markets.
We can help with qualitative projects throughout the SE Asia region, and our mixed team of expats and locals give your project in-market expertise as well as analysis from an outsider’s perspective, framing everyday behaviours and attitudes within the broader cultural and societal context. We offer typical qualitative methodologies such as group discussions, in home visits, ethnography, mobile qual, IDIs at B2B and B2C level, but also host cultural safaris and training. Our toolkit extends to semiotics, communications planning and neuroscience, and we have staff members with qualifications in all of these disciplines.
We can offer advice about how to get the best out of each SE Asia market, adapting methodologies and discussion guides to suit local respondents. We are not shy to push back if we think something won’t work, because in the end, we want you to get the best results from the research. We are constantly curious and love working with interesting brands and interesting people!
