Our Story

“Our clients want to know about the future. Most market research only asks about the past.”

Since 2012 Irrational Agency has been defining the way behavioral science is used in commercial research. We’ve partnered with some of the world’s biggest brands to uncover what consumers value and provide impactful, evidence-based solutions to pricing, choice architecture, brand perceptions and behaviors unattainable using solely traditional research methods.

The agency was founded with a background in behavioral pricing strategies, consumer psychology, economics, and decades of experience in traditional research methods. Since then we have not only acted as a bridge between cutting edge academic consumer psychology and the commercial world, but continue to invent our own behavioural methods, rooted in both academic rigour and commercial application, and beyond anything already available in the insight industry.

Our purpose is to bring clients new consumer stories and insights that change perspectives and allow brands to think differently about key challenges and potential solutions. We believe that consumers’ imagination and the stories they tell themselves can uncover real future motivations and what they truly value. Our work can bring you closer to your customer and drive growth for your brand.
