UMG
Overview
Having a strong background in delivering creative solutions for the B2B industry, especially the Market Research industry (which we believe is the home of the human stories), Guru has always been at the forefront of exploring how to best evolve the research process via an integrated creative / consultancy hybrid system. Market researchers are amazing at what they do - looking at data and seeing patterns. The best researchers that we have worked with are able to not only see patterns within the data but also little elements of stories, and when it comes to telling stories, the creative industry has literally made an entire industry from storytelling. And this is because, we are the storytellers (Yes! I did just quote our tagline!).
At Guru, our belief is that the strongest tool a good designer has is the ability to remove himself from the decision-making process when dealing with a client's project. This is because he knows that (most of the time) what the client needs is not the designer's personal taste, but a visual translation of a feeling or emotion that is the driving force of the business. We cannot help but see similarities between this and market researchers who work as translators of human emotions into visible, tangible, and most importantly, actionable data and stories.
Whatever the data-gathering method, the analysis and delivery method comes down to human researchers and their methods of story-gathering and storytelling. We are not saying that this is a bad thing, quite the contrary, we believe that the key to evolving the research process lies in the research industry’s strongest tool, the researchers themselves, more precisely, their creative thinking abilities.

Conclusion.
The client was excited about the final output, and it was shared internally among all the labels under the UMG group. The client stated that the output was something that was not only entertaining but also informative and framed in a memorable way, with research findings positioned in a manner that means the information stays with its viewer long term. To put it in the clients' words “this is awesome, we’ve never been able to fit all a project's findings in such a great video!”
O Kempski (insight director UMG)
At Guru, we are fantastic at rethinking how insight is best delivered for maximum impact. Rather than just delivering outputs the challenges researchers from the very start of projects to think differently, distill the key findings, and ensures you pull stories from data before delivering in a truly compelling way. Experimentation is key in challenging existing practices and more of this is needed for the research industry to progress from delivering data to truly delivering insight.
