We're all about emotion
We believe emotion drives consumer behaviour. We developed NeedScope over 25 years ago to understand and measure emotion. NeedScope is a subsidiary of Kantar Group, the world’s leading data, insights and consulting company. This gives NeedScope global reach – with 15,000+ projects in 100+ markets helping clients build brands with emotion.
You’ll find emotion in everything we do.
From our model of universal human emotions to our specialised NeedScope tools.
