"Jon’s work on Stand Up To Cancer was incredibly insightful. Jon presents a clear and neutral set of outputs and recommendations that are absolutely rooted in insight. Jon’s approach drew out subtleties that we hadn’t previously understood and which we didn’t feel other research had quite uncovered. He’s also unafraid to challenge our own preconceptions which we really valued."

Head of Marketing & Campaign Delivery - Stand Up To Cancer

"Jon is a fantastic researcher able to elicit from respondents what they genuinely feel about something rather than what they think we want to hear and providing supportive challenge which gets to the heart of people's feelings and perceptions."

Head of Marketing and Comms, Sue Ryder

"Jon has great skill in connecting with a wide background of consumers and building the feedback into good, simple, sound sense that we were able to act upon. Jon’s also got a very easy going nature that makes it great to work with him."

VP Inisght, PepsiCo China

"Kindling Research are a fantastic agency to work with. Whether analysing broad audiences or niche groups, the insights they provide are not only fresh and clear but also communicated in an actionable way. The creative testing they conducted around the Superhumans campaign played a key role in bringing viewers to the biggest event in Channel 4’s history."

James Hamilton, Channel 4

"Kindling are a brilliant agency to work with. From creative testing to communications testing to patient projects the insights delivered are always clear and actionable. The recent patient information project was extremely insightful in helping us shape the way we communicate our patient information services. Jon will always go the extra mile to make sure you are getting what you need out of your project."

Senior Insight Manager: Cancer Research UK

"In a world full of data and very little insight, it's refreshing to work with Kindling. Kindling takes account for research effects and the difficulties people have understanding concepts in order to cut through the waffle and get to the truth."

Tim Boxall, Anomaly
