Who We Are
Artisanal Consulting is a boutique market research consulting firm specializing in bespoke entertainment and technology engagements. Our company may be new to the market research scene, but our people aren’t – we’re former executives and passionate researchers from some of the best-known global agencies in the business who went out on their own to do the agency world differently. How differently? See for yourself:
- Every decision we make is centered on our team and our clients — not stock price or quarterly earnings reports. You’ll never feel pressured to make a sale or take on a project we’re not staffed for to hit an arbitrary goal. We’re selective in the projects we take on to ensure we feel proud of the work we’re doing, our clients have our full attention on every engagement, and, most importantly, our team isn’t overworked.
- Pop culture is the lifeblood of entertainment and technology research and our work reflects that. We follow our passions and help our clients decode pop culture trends to understand what makes consumers tick in ways that engage us—and our clients—visually and mentally. We’re proud creative and tech nerds who are not afraid to learn new tricks in service of these goals, from Photoshop edits to advanced analytics.
- As researchers and marketers, we take so much from the world that it’s only right that we give a little back. We donate a portion of all our engagements to a local charity to support the communities we come from.
For more information on who we are, please visit our website: www.artisanalconsulting.com. We offer competitive compensation, healthcare, 401k, PTO benefits, and are 100% remote.
