Background

About Lucy Burnham

A quote from a colleague best sums up what I do, and what I love doing – “Lucy makes happen”. In my professional life, this means making great research happen for brand owners, these days through my leadership of teams of Ipsos insight experts. My role is to harness all the great talent and energy in my Ipsos teams, people who are intrigued by innovation, bats about brands and crazy about communications. How to channel all that potential to help our clients make better decisions, using all the amazing innovation, expertise and resources we have at Ipsos, is the question I am answering every day. I love keeping up with and debating the latest marketing theory and its implications for the research industry, it’s one of the things that keeps me buzzing about my job – so much is changing about how we can understand people and explore their motivations, and how we can apply that to business challenges. Yet, at the same time, so little is changing about our fundamental human needs. When all’s said and done though, the theory of marketing and how that changes our research means little if it doesn’t make happen in businesses. And that’s where my passion lies. We work with clients in: • Understanding markets, consumers and categories • Exploring new opportunities • Appraising your brand strength and associations, and pinpointing how to maximise it • Assessing potential of innovations, packs and products • Identifying shopper behaviour and how to trigger purchase • Optimising and evaluating marketing activations Get in touch if you’d like to hear more! We’re always happy to hear from great clients to work with and great people to join us! Outside work I am very proud to be a non-exec Director at ActOne cinema, a community cinema that is dedicated to providing a quality cinema experience in a beautiful reclaimed Victorian library to our local residents. https://actonecinema.co.uk/ActOneCinema.dll/Home
