Get your business ready for the Entrepreneurial Consumer
As consumers take control of their relationships with brands, what we’re seeing is the emergence of “The Entrepreneurial Consumer”. These consumers like to solve their own problems, rely on their network to make the best decision, want to be included and collaborate, and finally they negotiate to get the best value.

Working with BrandHook
We are passionate about helping brands create powerful and connected customer experiences by getting intimate with their customers. We know that a brand gains a real competitive edge when they get this right.
To help our clients build those great customer experiences we anchor our thinking in an ethnographical approach. We take you and your business into the world of your customer – their homes, the way they shop – with particular interest in the role that your brand plays in their lives. Participating in, rather than spying on people, changes the whole investigative process which means we find the gaps, the disconnects and the things that keep coming up that don’t always make sense. We learn as much from what isn’t said, as what is.
This market orientation and ethnographic approach unearths a more powerful customer insight and helps to find those brand hooks that build a powerful brand and customer experience.
We are focused on helping our clients understand their customers and brand in 7 different ways:
- In home immersions
- In store safari’s
- Digital ethnography
- Human centred innovation
- Brand purpose crystalisation
- Customer experience mapping
- Customer experience score development
