OUR VISION

Giving a voice to people’s experiences

When we amplify the ‘voice of the customer,’ at the heart of what we do is to connect people and their experiences to organizations. From rich, in-depth insights comes inspiration and a new level of understanding that can inform decisions at every level.

Today, organizations are being evaluated by their impact on people’s lives — whether by company values, sustainability goals, or more importantly, their capacity for empathy. We believe that truly listening, understanding and valuing customers' experiences is critical for empathy and human centricity.

Testimonials

The platform loved by teams across the globe

“Since adopting Discuss, we’ve seen a dramatic uptick in our teams getting connected to consumers. In just a few months, over two hundred of our team members have engaged in virtual IDIs, really learning how to connect with consumers and understanding them and what’s going on in their lives.”

Director of Consumer & Shopper Insights
“Our problem to solve was that change is constant and we had to ask ourselves, how do we become more human centric and connect with humans in a more regular, agile way and remove some of the historical constraints to connections at scale. Discuss is serving as a solution to this problem.”

Julie Katz
Senior Manager of Global Consumer Insights
“We have clients coming to us and asking us what software we’re using because they’re so impressed by it. Some of our really large global tech customers even make their own, but they’re coming to us excited about how easy yet powerful the Discuss qual platform is.”

Principal – Research Operations
“I know some companies like to go the “cheap” route and use Zoom or Teams because they already have it, but those platforms are not for research and don’t have the added features that Discuss has.”
