These are our tools

Our methods are the result of scientific research and continuous development of morphology. The rheingoldInterview® is the methodological core. It is combined with quantitative methods, mobile research, social analytics or VR labs. Each study is tailored to your question, so no two settings are the same.

Discovering effective insights together

Imagine you could look into the soul of your customers and understand their secret logic. With this knowledge, you would adjust the mechanisms of their products and develop highly effective marketing campaigns. A rheingold study delivers insights that surprise. It thus becomes the foundation for innovation, the space for new perspectives.

Together, we also develop assertive strategies and accompany you in the communicative implementation. This is how market research becomes the basis for value creation. 

The formula for strong brands - the Brand Success Code

The demands on strong brands are exploding in the moving markets. This makes it all the more important for brands to be very resilient in order to withstand the influences and attacks and at the same time to set themselves on the road to success through strategic relevance, clear positioning, coherence and uniqueness.

At the beginning there is always the deep understanding of the market

To successfully capture a market or maintain a market position, you should understand it in its depth and dynamics. Those who understand the hidden logics of a market have the effective levers with which strategies lead to success.

World map

In order to meet the intercultural demands of a modern market research world, it is a matter of course at rheingold to staff the research teams with experts from different countries.

We understand CrossCulture as a joint project, with our cooperation partners in the respective countries as well as a bi-national interview team. Only by complementing the supra-regional perspective of the rheingold project management with the local researcher's perspective can we avoid 'blind spots' and detect cultural peculiarities.

Through this proactive, intercultural exchange, rheingold acts as a cultural translator and ensures the well-known rheingold research quality - everywhere in the world.
