Our customers' opinions
are important to us
"Working with Bolt has been fantastic. We particularly appreciated the quality of the analysis. The Max-Diff analysis was outstanding value. It allowed us to screen among 30+ innovations in 5 different markets in 4-6 weeks within budget and without cutting corners which gave us the confidence we were making the right recommendation to our client."
Léonore Saintville
Founder
“The project was done in record time and was very insightful. Once fieldwork was started, the dashboard was intuitive and gave us the possibility to follow the field progress. A fast and furious and very helpful tool!”
Lee MAY NORMAND
Global Consumer and Market Insight Director
"Global Soft Power Index 2022 study required us to survey opinions of over 100,000 respondents worldwide on 120 nation brands. Where online coverage is weak, we partnered with Bolt Insight, adopting a new and cutting-edge approach based on buying advertising space via digital marketing exchanges."
Steve Thomson
Insight Director
"It’s the first time we have ran overnight concept testing during a 3-day innovation hackathon and we were super happy with the results. Bolt were really accommodating in the whole process of co-designing the research with Elida Beauty marketing team and great at facilitating the execution of it during the day across 3 markets.”
Ivo Shurliev
