How Research Solves Key Challenges for our Clients
Uncovering the Real Drivers Behind Customer Behavior
We help brands move beyond assumptions to uncover what truly motivates their customers — needs, pain points, and decision-making triggers. Through interviews, surveys, and behavioral analysis, we surface insights that fuel sharper messaging, better targeting, and more effective product positioning.
De-Risking Major Brand Decisions at Critical Inflection Points
Whether launching, rebranding, or entering a new market, our research gives decision-makers the confidence to act. We eliminate guesswork and ensure every move is backed by real-world data and clear opportunity mapping.
Aligning Teams Around a Clear, Evidence-Based Strategy
We turn insights into shared understanding, aligning executives, marketing teams, and creative partners around a single source of truth. The result: faster decision-making, better collaboration, and a brand strategy everyone can believe in.
Navigating Complexity in Regulated Industries
For healthcare, fintech, and other highly regulated sectors, we bring clarity to complex landscapes. We help clients understand multi-layered audiences — like patients, providers, and payers — and surface insights that guide compliant, effective communication strategies.

Working with Born & Bred has been integral to the success of several large brand buildouts at PepsiCo. Their collaborative approach and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Thanks to Born & Bred, our brands are attracting more attention and driving success.
Eric Perinotti
After six years and six million deliveries, it was time to revisit the Eaze brand to make sure it aligned with how we’ve evolved as a company. Born & Bred were great partners through the process. They’re unafraid of taking strategic creative risks and did an incredible job of capturing where Eaze is today, and where we want to go.
Rogelio Choy
What does "brand" even mean? I use to think of myself as a product founder. Build awesome products, and you'll have an awesome company. Boy was I wrong!! Brand is so much more than pretty colors and aspirational phrases. It's the very essence of who you are, and why you do what you do.
Tony Tran
Born & Bred is our partner in building a captivating brand. Their professionalism and savvy shines through all that they do.

Crafting the Brand Behind 30 Years of Impact and Innovation
We repositioned GCI with a brand built around their core philosophy: construction is like solving a giant puzzle — complex, collaborative, and deeply human. From the wordmark to departmental brand systems, we created a modular identity that speaks to both clients and internal teams. The result is a cohesive, tech-forward brand system that celebrates their culture, elevates their work, and reflects the precision and energy that’s defined GCI for three decades — and counting.
Creating a bold B2B
brand for even bolder creators
Lumanu had built a powerful platform for creators, but their brand felt too buttoned-up for an audience defined by self-expression and ambition. We reimagined their identity from the ground up—developing a bold, unapologetically creative brand and a surreal, collage-inspired campaign that brought their vision to life across social, OOH, and digital, positioning Lumanu as a true champion of the creator economy.
Engineering Eaze’s Most
Impactful Marketing Moment
After establishing itself as a leader in cannabis delivery, Eaze evolved into a vertically integrated company—and needed a brand to match its growth. They partnered with Born & Bred to craft an identity that bridged the worlds of weed culture and nerd culture, striking a tone that was both smart and irreverent. From a bold new visual system to high-impact holiday campaigns, we helped Eaze confidently step into its next chapter.

FAQs
Effectiveness isn’t a vibe — it’s measurable. We look at KPIs like awareness, engagement, lead gen, conversion rates, and brand lift studies. For campaigns, we also measure traffic, CTR, CPA, and ROAS. A strong brand shows up in both performance metrics and customer loyalty.
We build in clear checkpoints and feedback loops to minimize endless tweaks — but if you need more rounds, we’ll keep the momentum going with transparent scope adjustments. No surprise charges, just smart collaboration.
If you’re making a big shift or launching in a high-stakes category, audience testing can be invaluable. We offer both qualitative and quantitative research to pressure-test concepts and make confident, data-backed decisions.
You're not signing up for a second job — but your input is key. We lead the process, but your vision, feedback, and insights fuel the work. We’ll align upfront on expectations and timing so it’s smooth and efficient.
Yes—but think of it as a creative sidekick, not the main event. We use AI to accelerate research, generate early concepts, and test creative performance. But the magic? That still comes from human intuition and cultural insight.
We keep things streamlined and accessible. Expect Figma for creative, Google Docs for strategy and timelines, and Slack or email for daily updates — whatever fits your team best.
Maybe. But virality isn’t a strategy — impact is. We design campaigns that are built to perform and scale, not just trend and disappear.
Only if they work. But honestly? We’d rather help you build something bold, differentiated, and conversion-ready. Because beige doesn’t break through.
