Who we are:

 

One Minute to Midnight are a Global Human Insight Agency working in Market Research meaning brands come to us for help to understand their audiences.

 

To bring them closer to their audience / future audience we go out across the world to speak to people about anything and everything depending on our clients’ needs. We have a range of research methods that include interactive group sessions, online communities, one to one interviews … we’ve even hosted a cocktail night! After speaking to people, we turn these findings into a report that we present to our clients to enable them to do things that are in line with what people really want.

 

Our work influences everything from creating adverts to developing products to building brand & customer relationships… we even changed the storyline of one of the world’s greatest video games. We work on a whole load of exciting projects, one completely different from the next which means it’s never boring!

 

During our research we explore relationships between audiences and the four parts of being human - i.e. our behaviours, our feelings, our thinking and finally, and most importantly, our values.
