What Is Telecoms, IT & Digital Market Research?

Telecoms, IT and digital market research uses qualitative, quantitative and ethnographic methods to help organisations understand users, buyers, stakeholders, competitors and technology adoption behaviours. The insights we provide drive decisions around brand development, product design, messaging, innovation, pricing and go-to-market strategy.

Our technology market research spans the full landscape: telecoms networks and infrastructure providers; mobile operators, MVNOs and broadband providers; hosting and data centres; cybersecurity platforms and managed security services; SaaS, PaaS and enterprise software providers; IT services, MSPs and systems integrators; and digital products, apps and platform developers.

Client Feedback

Lauren Williams

We worked with Brandspeak on a brand awareness project and we were extremely pleased with the quality of service and the process. They understood the complexity of the briefs and asked plenty of questions to make sure they fully understand the objectives. They interacted with all levels of people in our business and understood the differences within the market and suggested ways to tie the research together so it was still comparable. The results were delivered with easy to digest summaries that could be used across the business. We would highly recommend using them.

From their initial proposal they displayed an understanding of financial services and a clarity of thinking that made them stand out. Since then they have consistently delivered to demanding timescales. But what really sets them apart are their actionable and business focused recommendations which give them the credibility to influence senior internal stakeholders. I have really enjoyed working with them and look forward to doing so again.
