WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Having worked with East River on numerous research projects, I’d absolutely have no qualms in giving glowing recommendations for them. Anne thinks in a strategic way but equally is well and truly all over the detail needed to deliver a complex project, taking care of the end-to-end delivery and really getting to the crux of the issue. She has built great relationships at all levels of our business, from the senior leadership team to the shop floor staff, and delivered actionable recommendations in a clear and concise manner every time. No task is too menial nor too big, and she takes last minute changes in her stride, so all of the worry is off my shoulders. Sending all my most sincere thanks to Anne and can’t wait to work with her again in future
Hannah Key, Insight Manager, Thorntons
Anne at East River Insight is the most professional researcher I have come across. Her attention to detail and constant interaction with the client team is second to none. She constantly strives to determine the factors behind consumers’ decisions, and her determination to get to the core of consumer decisions is exceptional. Anne challenges the norm to get to the crux of business-critical decisions, and her work has been invaluable in decisions around ranging, marketing and merchandising. Her qualitative research changed the whole offering of my product range, where a whole range was inspired by customer feedback – all directed from East River’s work! She dedicated so much time in tailoring the brief to get to the heart of where I needed to get to. Her communication and passion has been unbelievable in situations where a quick turnaround was paramount. I would recommend East River over and above any other research/insight agency – amazing insights!
Sapphire Wheeler, Senior Category Manager, 2 Sisters Food Group
When I joined Mizkan, there was very little recent consumer insight on its Branston, Haywards and Sarson’s brands. Anne was instrumental in advising and delivering on appropriate qualitative and quantitative consumer insight across category understanding and innovation opportunities. Working with Anne was always a pleasure, as she is very responsive, grasps the issue and requirement quickly and flexes her approach to get the right deliverables.
