Our story

A different kind of insight agency.

Kokoro was founded by a small group of senior researchers and strategists who'd grown frustrated with the way insight was being delivered: too slow, too cautious, too eager to caveat the answer.

A decade in, we're still that. Senior partners on every project. Mixed-method by default. Debriefs that change decisions instead of decorating them. Research craft that matches the calibre of our clients' own work.

Meet the team

World-class specialists, award-winning experts.
