FLUME CASE STUDY 

Flume is an independent research agency that works hard to make brands easier to think of, buy and use by crafting qualitative and quantitative research projects that really engage with consumers. It has been using Qualzy since April 2017. However, when the pandemic drove a need for fresh ways to connect with research participants online, its use of the Qualzy platform grew rapidly. Since 2019 it has delivered more than 50% of its qualitative research projects online and relies on Qualzy to provide the tools and capabilities to create and optimise those projects.

Our platform must be as fluid as our projects, because no two projects are ever the same. Qualzy is fantastic at providing this kind of fluid partnership. As an agency end user, we can set up so many amazing tools.” 

Debbie Newbould, Managing Director, Flume

 

Using Qualzy, the Flume research team can

  • Establish long term online research communities, and refresh them with new participants
  • Scale projects as required and reach as many consumers as it needs, wherever they are
  • Build rich insights into buyer’s lives through posts, feedback, videos and more
  • Connect with consumers of any age, who find it the platform intuitive and easy to use

“The Qualzy interface is just so easy that we never need to worry. We have platform users aged from 17 to 70. Qualzy is so intuitive that we get fantastically rich content from them.”

Qualzy enables participants to engage whenever they wish and in the way they find comfortable giving Flume a real time insight into consumers’ real lives that they could not otherwise gain – along with powerful analytic capabilities that help it tag, filter, analyse and manage the larger quantities of data this generates.

“It reveals quality intelligence that helps clients make business decisions confidently and turn our findings into action.”

Flume now sees Qualzy as integral to how the agency works and the services it offers. Its effective use of the platform supported its award-winning work in 2022, via West Midlands Tech Award.

“Working together we will do even more award-winning work. Qualzy is now part of our pitch to new clients, who truly value seeing things through consumers’ eyes.”
