New footprints research series for clients out next week

One of a number of new research studies for 2012, the new ‘footprints’ series offers our take on some of the issues and news stories of the last few months that we think have an interesting footprint for the future. In contrast to the market research focus of our other research series, footprints is about ideas.

At elephant communications we foster a positive culture of creative thinking, of active curiosity and our day always starts with a discussion on the news and current affairs. The stories and issues that team members pick for discussion vary hugely: Some are counter-intuitive, some quirky, whilst others may stand out because of the way they offer a fresh take on an issue or offer promise to lead somewhere new.

Our footprint reports for clients are quarterly bulletins in which we share our thoughts on a dozen of the topics and stories that have interested us over the previous months and stood out during our morning discussions.
