Nicky Fraser

A constant fascination for what makes people tick led to a Masters in Social Behaviour at LSE, including Consumer Psychology and Psychology of Advertising, where I first encountered qualitative research. Later pursued this interest further, training in psychotherapy.

Over 27 years research experience, spanning UK and Australia, with a few side trips along the way!

National and international expertise across a wide range of categories and markets, working for some of the leading research agencies in Sydney and London. Still called on when leading global agencies need extra resource for large blue chip clients

Breadth of experience covers the full range of categories including FMCG, Services and Social, with audiences from kids and teens through to bankers and CEO’s

Alison Dexter

Ali has 30+ years of research and consulting experience and has worked locally and globally in the UK, Asia, US.

Ali began her career in a management consultancy in London which led to a job back in Sydney with a strategic marketing consultancy. That company was bought by a global research company and off Ali went to Hong Kong for 4 and a half years, feeling extremely lucky that the world of market research enabled working in different places (this pattern was to repeat for Vietnam, New York, Sydney, Melbourne).

Ali studied Psychology, Anthropology and English lit in her university degree, whilst being very fortunate to have some wonderful teachers in the Market Research and Psychology world, that fuelled her love of qual.

Ali is passionate about leveraging new techniques, technology and different thinking to get as close to the truth of human behaviour as possible.
