What our clients say

Clear insight to action

 
After the results presentation and workshop we changed the landing page of your live campaign. Within three days, actual funds raised increased by 37%. 
After this experience, we took one need per week and workshopped it through with the team in our weekly meeting.

Turn donor insight into fundraising results

Use NeedsInsight to understand what motivates your audiences, strengthen your fundraising work and turn insight into action, quickly and practically.

We, at mext studio, developed NeedsInSight, because no one could give us a usable map of the mind of the customer in the different categories we work in.

 

We have developed and updated category needs models for over 30 years and worked with clients ranging from AXA to World Vision across 40 countries from Australia to Zimbabwe.

​

We always work scientifically robust, because we found in our implementation work, that if the psychology and algorithms are robust, clients get the results they want - and often more.
