Head of Strategy 3, Singapore

About Ipsos Singapore

Passionately curious is how we define ourselves at Ipsos. Using market research, we gain an accurate and deep understanding of a person, brand or market to help our client make smart, strategic business decisions. With the potential to change the world in a small and big ways, we strongly believe in what we do, while making sure we have fun while doing it.

About the team

Strategy3 is Ipsos’ business and growth advisory firm.
We believe that for any business strategy, marketing plan, brand positioning, or innovation to be successful, it must do three things: be rooted in the organization’s strategy, be informed and inspired by customer research, and it must drive through to actual in-market activation. While many firms advise on growth, very few deliver on all three: traditional management consultancies rarely delve deep enough into the world of the customer; creative firms don’t truly leverage the power of data; research agencies can sometimes lose the big picture amid analysis. That’s why we are Strategy3.
