Blue is the colour

What is it about blue? The websites that are part of our life and define our expectations of what a site should look like are all blue. Google , MSN.

Whether you are a political blue or red, your online news site is blue. Times Online, Guardian. The colour of the BBC News home page changes constantly but people have this image in their head of the BBC site being blue. Why is that?

Making insight critical

Our experience suggests that the key to getting your colleagues to interact with insight is to ensure that it is critical to everyday decision making. The vast majority of research becomes obsolete remarkably quickly. If you compare research to packaging or advertising, which live, breath and determine the success of a brand on a constant basis, research is an inactive inert part of the success of a business.

Consumers make decisions about price, product, packaging... They don't make decisions based on research.
