SUPPORTING SOUTH AUSTRALIA SINCE 2004

“We have worked with Square Holes on a range of research projects and always found the insights not just interesting and insightful but very valuable in setting strategic directions.”

Since launching from South Australia in late 2004 we’ve delivered robust inspiration to help make the world better.

Inspiration built on ISO 20252 certified substance (International ISO standard for market, social and opinion research).

Square Holes conducts and publishes customised explorative research on key markets, customers and population segments. We also provide associated consulting and support to ignite positive business and social behaviour change. This includes concept development and testing and monitoring of cultural trends, customer sentiment, brand health and marketing performance. Topics have traversed education to enhancing recycling and the development of strategic interventions to minimise smoking prevalance, problem gambling, unsafe alcohol consumption, other health issues, road accidents and relationship abuse. Brand categories explored have included the multi-dimensional lives of people from the arts, to banking, chocolate, to x-rays, youth services and zoos. How to reduce bad habits, evolve society, entice customers, enter new markets and prosper.
