Marketing that finds what others miss.

Strategy, research and campaign planning built around US market data.

Good marketing starts with knowing your market. CMB Insight delivers the research, segmentation and strategy work that sits underneath every effective campaign — so when budget is committed to advertising, it is committed to the right audience, the right channel and the right message.

Our US engagements draw on local market data (US Census, BLS, IBISWorld, Nielsen, Mintel) alongside our parent company’s UK research capability, giving you the benefit of dual-market context where it is useful and a clean local-only view where it is not.

Every project produces written deliverables you can use — strategy documents, research reports, audit findings, KPI frameworks — not just slide decks that get filed and forgotten.

  • Market research with primary and secondary sources
  • Competitor analysis and positioning maps

  • SEO audit and keyword research (US-targeted)

  • Quarterly insight reports for retained clients
Methodology

How an Insight engagement runs

Whether the work is a one-off research project or quarterly retained advisory, the underlying structure is the same. We resist the consultant tendency to dress up four steps as twelve.

Brief & scope

Discovery call to understand the decision the research needs to support. Written brief covering audience, market, hypotheses and success criteria.

Research

Primary and secondary research using US sources (Census, BLS, IBISWorld, Nielsen, Mintel) plus UK-group context where useful. Findings captured in a structured workbook.

Synthesize

Findings translated into a written strategy document or research report. Includes assumptions, evidence base, alternatives considered, and explicit recommendations.

Walk-through

Presentation session to your team, with the deliverable handed over in editable form. Follow-up Q&A window included as part of the engagement.

Deliverables

What you actually get

Starter scope

Market entry feasibility for a UK SaaS launch

UK-headquartered SaaS business considering a US launch. We sized the addressable US market, mapped local competitors, validated price positioning and identified the two segments worth opening with.

Outcome: Phased launch plan with clear go/no-go criteria. Client launched Phase 1 four months later.
Plus scope

Quarterly segmentation refresh for a multi-product DTC retailer

US-based direct-to-consumer retailer with three product lines wanted ongoing segmentation work to inform creative and channel decisions. We took it over from an internal team that had stopped updating it.

Outcome: Refreshed personas every quarter; campaign ROAS improved meaningfully over twelve months.
Pro scope

Continuous competitor monitoring for a regulated category

Financial services client in a category where competitor pricing and messaging shifts weekly. Monthly written reports plus immediate alerts on material changes.

Outcome: Client now leads category on response time to competitor moves; pricing decisions backed by current data.

FAQ

Common questions about CMB Insight

How long does a typical Starter engagement take?
Four to six weeks from kick-off to walk-through is typical. Shorter is sometimes possible if the brief is tightly scoped; longer if primary research (interviews, surveys) is in scope.
Do you do primary research yourselves or outsource it?
Both, depending on the work. In-depth interviews and small-sample qualitative research are typically delivered in-house. Large-sample quantitative surveys are commissioned through a panel provider where statistical rigor is needed — we manage the supplier, you don’t deal with them.
What if our internal team disagrees with the findings?
We present evidence, not opinion. If your team has a counter-view, we want it on the table — that disagreement usually reveals an assumption worth testing. The deliverable always names alternatives we considered and rejected, so the rationale is auditable.
Can we engage CMB Insight alongside CMB Amplify on the same campaign?
Yes — this is a common pattern. Insight provides the strategy and channel plan; Amplify executes the creative and media. The two engagements run as a coordinated program with a single brief and shared KPIs, but they can also run independently if you only need one of them.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We will sign your NDA, or provide our standard mutual NDA, before any sensitive material is shared. Confidentiality applies to everything we see during an engagement regardless of whether a separate NDA is in place.
How does this differ from a typical research agency?
Research agencies typically deliver data. We deliver decisions. The research is the means; the strategy document and KPI framework are the deliverable. If you only need raw data, a research agency is cheaper and we will tell you so.
