Sarah Smyth

“What makes the Nature team really stand out is their ability not simply to design and run incredible research programs and deliver genuine insights; it’s their unique capability in taking that additional step - working with an organisation to embed the insight into the team. Bringing a spirit of true immersion and collaboration in the project we have worked on together has been a real treat for us. It has elevated this work from being a great project to an incredible one, which offers our business lasting value and utility.”

Fay Varsos & Raechel O’Dwyer
Insights Manager – Customer Advocacy & Growth, Customer Insights, Coles

“Nature have risen to the challenge of delivering analysis that goes beyond the data (i.e. the What) and focuses on the So What and Now What that has helped identify clear opportunities for growth within our categories.  Overall, the team at Nature understand the meaning of ‘partner’ and ensure we get what is meaningful to the business and not just what we ask for.”

Darren Kweitel
Senior Consumer & Shopper Insights Manager, Fonterra

“Nature’s report gave us a tangible roadmap forward as a business, clearly explaining the insights (the what’s), the opportunities (the so what’s) and the specific actions moving forward (now what) to the wider business so that we all buy-in/believe and go on the journey together.”

Shannon Donato
Chief Commercial Officer, The Rabbitohs

“Mondelez International has worked with Nature for just over two years now, and in that time we’ve completed over 80 separate projects. The team at Nature always ensures that our projects are managed and completed with care and expertise, as well as providing clear recommendations on strategic direction. I can 100% rely on Nature to provide high quality, timely and clear insights to our business, no matter the scale of the project. Their work clear demonstrates commitment, category knowledge and insight, and is always conducted to the highest standard in terms of quality, content and deliverable. I would definitely recommend Nature in the future, as they have been a great provider of added insight, direction, and added value. I certainly consider Nature to be a highly valued strategic partner to our business”

Dion Brogan
Senior Consumer Insights Manager at Mondelez

“What we found in Nature was not just a research agency but a group of intelligent strategic thinkers who immersed themselves in our brand's problems and opportunities. The team at Nature became part of the team at Patties and whether that be for internal workshops or customer facing presentations, our partnership is born from a truly a collaborative approach, which is a credit to how Nature manage their client relationships”

Stuart Smyth
Strategy Director at Patties Foods

Sally Harris
Senior Insights Officer at Public Transport Victoria

“Nature’s difference lies in the people, who are energetic, experienced and inspiring. Nature do all the basics very well, but the team really excels when solving complex marketing problems, offering creative and innovative research solutions. They are the complete package.”

Zac Gelman
Marketing Manager at CUB

“Nature managed to start as a boutique company and retain that boutique-y feel. Really, they challenge us, they really force us to think further and get a better outcome.”

Rogerio Pereira

“What you get with Nature is a team that has actually thought through your problem. They bring things you don’t expected or hadn’t thought of, with a strong commercial lens as well

Nick Hickford
General Manager, Strategic Program Delivery, Bulla Dairies

“A hallmark of my relationship with Nature across multiple businesses and categories is that regardless of the scale and complexity of the project, the service levels of the team, their interest and willingness go above and beyond is exceptional the whole way through. What also distinguishes Nature is just the elegant simplicity of storytelling and presenting data in a way that makes it easy to understand what to do with as opposed to what it says. I candidly don’t know how they do it but from the most senior members in the business who I’ve been dealing with for 5 years right through to new recruits. There’s clearly something in the water in the agency”
