About us

Lucid is a global insight, brand and innovation consultancy with a reputation for clarity and smart strategic thinking that moves brands further.

We have a dynamic, creative approach that helps us get more from people and our mixed backgrounds bring marketing expertise to identifying the implications beyond the findings.

We work with you to understand the people you want to connect with, unearth the insight you need and recommend a clear, action-oriented way forward.

Further

There’s insights, and then there are the insights Lucid provide: going deeper into what people really mean, sifting through contradictions and complexity, and arriving at knowledge that has real impact and drives action

What we do

We work globally online and face-to-face, often mixing methods and working iteratively to push the thinking and leverage our expertise to reach the best insight ‘leaps’ and most robust outcomes.

Great stimulus is vital and we know how to get it right, so we work with clients to ensure it will aid not hinder, including helping to create insight statements, mood boards and concepts.

We use hallmark movement-based techniques when face to face to help people engage more naturally and fully and a range of other methods including video ethnography and image work.

Outputs vary on a needs basis and flex to fit the available time and budget, from a full presentation to a fast verbal ‘hot debrief’ followed by crisp, clear summary charts.

Clearer

Top-level expertise to make consumers talk, exceptional level of strategic mindset and presentation skills, and so great to work with. I really recommend them!

People
