Truth Consulting is a strategic insight agency founded in 2006.  Our foundational idea was to be a different kind of agency; driven by strategy and business needs, rather than methodology.  We have grown to be a full-service agency, offering all types of research, from group discussions and semiotics, through to advanced analytics. 

We still aim to be a different kind of agency: relentlessly curious, collaborative, fresh thinking and creative.  We see ourselves as partners in change, helping clients find bright solutions to challenges and opportunities.  Our work has taken us across the globe, and we have been fortunate to work with some of the biggest and most dynamic organisations.

Truth has offices in London, Frankfurt and Johannesburg, but we have worked across all major markets, and many minor ones, in order to meet the needs of our clients.  Unusually for a mid-sized agency, we work across many sectors, with expertise in CPG, Beauty, Automotive, Technology, Health & Pharma, and Financial Services.
