We are a creative insights agency that gives you emotional truths and clear direction on how to use them to benefit your brand.
We are nimble so you can be too, and can scale our team up or down to suit your project, so you don’t pay for a big team if you don’t need one. Our core is advanced qualitative research, and we have partnerships with quant researchers, strategists, semioticians and designers.

What makes Nosey Parker different is our consumer training and experience: we use the skills and techniques learnt from our consumer research and transfer them to healthcare. This means that you have a trained, highly skilled researcher who understands healthcare working on your brand, using the latest and best techniques to solve your problem and answer your question.
Even in healthcare we are creative, and always remember that doctors are people too.
Our experience working in sophisticated consumer markets means we can offer our healthcare clients superior insight generation and a commercial brand-building and opportunity generating service.
We work with healthcare companies across a broad range of therapeutic areas, and have over ten years’ experience in healthcare research.
