A clear and considered set of recommendations were brought to life by inspiring concept territories, backed by robust consumer, competitor and business insight. The conversations the work facilitated were invaluable in shaping the future direction of the business. I wouldn’t hesitate recommend them or use them again.”

“Haines McGregor provide a unique combination of consumer insight, strategic thinking and creative design. You can often find these skills in different agencies, it is rare to get them all under one roof.”
Matthew Walker | Global Brand Director
“During the start of the Covid crisis, our project was at jeopardy and subsequent workshops impossible. HMc were quickly able to flip to a virtual format and engage a disparate team. This involved setting local market missions, virtual check-ins and running virtual workshop sprints to ensure the project progressed with the right inputs, people & outcomes.”

I highly recommend Haines McGregor to anyone looking to take their marketing and innovation projects to the next level.”

I would highly recommend working with them in the future.”
