OUR PHILOSOPHY:
ACT LIKE A RESEARCHER,
BUT THINK LIKE
A CONSULTANT

Leflein provides a process approach rather than a project approach to research.

Whether it's good conversation or coming up with creative ideas, our team members shine when partnering with clients.

Leflein stands out through our diverse and distinctly talented team members who sit on all sides of the research table. This allows us to adapt, bringing fresh perspectives to every business challenge we approach.

We have a wide range of backgrounds from ad sales to vendor side, data science, digital strategy, business communications, and media psychology.

Our team are proud foodies, media junkies, fashionistas, health and fitness enthusiasts, globe trotters, environmentalists, and music lovers.

My work is never just ‘another project’ for them and the attention I get always makes me feel like their only client. Barbara and her team understand the business issues and add valuable insights into the ideas we tackle that result in more valuable results.
