CASE STUDIES
Our work has empowered clients to move forward more decisively, knowing that our approach, methods and analysis have kept the customer at the heart of every project. Explore some of our extensive client stories spanning over two decades and a wide range of industries and organisations.
COMMUNITY SENTIMENT
Our client, a large and aspiring Regional Council, had aspirations to be reclassified from a 'Regional' to a 'City' Council. Censeo was engaged to understand and measure community's attitudes and values regarding the proposed vision. Our mixed method approach, including focus groups, online immersion sessions and a quantiative survey, provided indepth and rigorous evidence to support our client's formal application for reclassification. The result was a recommendation to the Governor In-Council to consider the change and subsequent notification from the Queensland Government of the formal amendment to a 'City Council'.
BRAND HEALTH & MARKET PENETRATION
After experiencing an encouraging market entrance and strong word-of-mouth referrals for their new seniors' living offering, our client wanted to assess overall market penetration and benchmark their brand health (recall, awareness, sentiment, understanding) to inform their next stage of strategic marketing and growth decisions. Our quantitative approach included a representative sample of telephone interviews with the clients' primary market (70+ year olds) and a mix of telephone and online interviews with key influencers (the children of seniors).
ADVERTISING & COMMUNICATIONS
Queensland's Department of Environment and Science engaged Censeo to conduct research to inform the development and implementation of a future communications strategy and campaign as part of their broader Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Communications Strategy. Our approach included an online survey with Queenslanders aged 18+ living across South East Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef catchment.

Our most recent collaboration with Censeo and Edmonds Marketing has impressed me, once again. They conducted a comprehensive assessment of our brand health, covering brand recall, sentiment and market penetration meeting all our planned objectives. Having worked with them at a different company, I knew they would deliver.
The investment delivered significant value and I'm eager to continue our partnership to track our brand health over time and further strengthen our brand's position in the aged care and retirement living market.
Their ability to interpret a loosely defined brief was impressive, resulting in beneficial market insights. Communication was excellent and their professionalism was evident in their work quality and presentations.
