Our FMCG Client Feedback
“Vision One were excellent to work with throughout the process. They understood our brand and its needs and took on feedback to make changes where necessary. We’re very happy with the level of insight gained.”
“Absolutely no dislikes. Vision One is diligent from beginning to end on all projects that have undertaken with us. They take the time to learn about our products and solutions and markets. Vision One are known at Pitney Bowes globally as an extension to our European Marketing Team rather than a vendor/supplier who is providing a service.”
“Working with Vision One was a brand new partnership for us this year, but we were impressed from the very start with their collaboration, support and professionalism in helping us to develop our B2B satisfaction survey.”
“Vision One deliver what we need. They have a friendly but efficient approach to the projects and are flexible and agile enough to respond to our changing needs. From the initial contact through to the presentation and feedback of research projects, Vision One do not disappoint”
“Vision One were an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a strategic thinking market research agency. They had great client relations, always keeping you informed on the progress of your research project, they bought creative ideas to the table, and delivered on the strategic insight we needed.”
It was a pleasure to work with everyone at Vision One, they truly felt like an extension of my own team, and they made what could have been an extremely stressful project feel safe and in control – for that I cannot thank them enough.
“Vision One were extremely professional, approachable and knowledgeable. Vision One offered expertise and insights into market research which we did not have in our organisation. This enabled us as a team to effectively deliver the project to the government client.”
“Thanks to Vision One’s support, the client’s prototype was validated and improved. Throughout the engagement, the team communicated regularly with the client and conducted weekly meetings to share their progress. They went above and beyond to understand and realize the client’s objective.”
“It’s great that we had direct access to a market research expert such as Vision One’s Managing Director throughout the project, something we weren’t convinced we’d get from the large global business.”
“I just want to say thank you so much for the brilliant presentation yesterday. The work you’ve done has really hit home, which will make a massive difference to our work. We’re really grateful!”
