The story began in 2007 when Paul Kavanagh and Rune Wennesland met over coffee to discuss setting up Beehive, a market research agency based in London.
Both felt they could achieve more by branching out on their own, so that’s exactly what they did. And consequently Beehive was created, a specialised market research agency. Ultimately it was achieved by combining complementary expertise and a shared conviction to transform business decision making.
At Beehive we do things differently, by offering a fresh approach to market research. Hardly a unique claim, but we believe we can back it up.
Everything starts with your business challenge. We’ll sit down with you to understand what it is you want to achieve, and we’ll bring our experience, enthusiasm and imagination to the table to see how we can best address your challenge.
It’s not rocket science but it works, as our long-term research partnerships prove.
Our Hive is made up of experts who have a passion for delivering insight that can transform your business…
