Head of Capture
We’re looking a super talented person to manage the end to end observation and capture of our projects.
The Company
weseethrough is a technology-driven market research company. We use wearable technology to capture a first-person view of people’s lives and a video curation platform to sift through huge amounts of video footage. By providing an unfiltered and unaffected observation of consumers, we are able to uncover truly powerful insights and answers without relying heavily on interview responses. We’re less than two years old, we’ve already won ~£400k of work from big-name clients like Unilever and we won the 2015 MRS award for innovation in research methodology. Business is booming.
Looking for a career in an exciting start-up? weseethrough, based in the market research sector, is using innovative technology to bring a new level of market understanding to top global brands using video.
Instead of surveys, interviews and clipboards, weseethrough kit out paid respondents with fixed cameras or wearables (eg Go Pros) to record a first-person view of their lives. Respondents talk naturally and show us what they are doing; cooking, eating, washing etc
Once the footage is captured our team creates a video library of consumer behaviour, product use, brand impressions and more – all tagged and easily browsable using our bespoke video hub. Video evidence is aggregated and turned into insight, written up and presented back to the brands involved. We find unknown pain points, behavioral patterns and marketing opportunities that drive million-dollar decisions.
