We believe there is an art to the science of market research.

Hi, we’re W5.

Creative, intelligent, collaborative–just a few words that represent the W5 team. We are an eclectic group of people–statisticians, designers, anthropologists, journalists–bound by a common curiosity to understand people, products, and brands.

Influenced by the entrepreneurial spirit of our founders, W5 is a proudly independent firm. This allows us to be agile, flexible, and quickly adaptable to changing business environments for our clients. Independence means we can do all this while remaining 100% true to ourselves.

Clients who work with W5, from start-ups to F100 to advertising agencies, understand this unique advantage and see the value of our independence in the work we deliver.

We have a passion for the work we do and the industry we serve.
