Clients around the globe agree

from FMCG to Finance to Telecom, the 5hellos method drives better business outcomes

We are 5hellos.

Experts in Research, Marketing, UX & Innovation, we asked: why is data alone the gold standard in research?
Data is solid, but human insights at scale change the game.

That’s why we invented 5hellos.
The only agile, scalable and surprisingly effective way to put real human beings at the heart of every research project.

  • First: 5 questions asked individually
  • Then: 1 group conversation online
  • And then: repeat 2x or 25x or 100x
  • Powered by 5Q™️ AI platform

Conversations change the game.

37% of relationships may start via algorithms in a dating app….

… but it’s only the drink at the bar or the coffee on the corner that seals the deal.
