Where Insights Meet AI Precision

AnswerRocket and Basis Global have joined forces to fundamentally transform what market research can deliver — not incremental gains, but a new standard for brand intelligence. Together, we’re reimagining how insights are generated, analyzed, and turned into decisions that move brands forward.

The Partnership

Two Strengths, One Vision

The best brand decisions are grounded in deep human understanding and powered by the most complete, rigorous analysis possible. This partnership is built to deliver both.

Basis Global — The Insight Experts

Basis Global is an award-winning insight consultancy with over two decades of experience helping the world’s leading brands understand their customers. Their practice spans Consumer, B2B, Health, and Creative Activation — unified by a commitment to research that doesn’t just report findings, but drives decisions. Their proprietary Ideas First methodology and Integrated Intelligence framework transform data into strategic narratives that create real competitive advantage for clients.

AnswerRocket — The AI Experts

AnswerRocket builds enterprise AI solutions that unlock new levels of insight quality, not just faster processes. Specializing in agentic AI, data architecture, and custom AI development, AnswerRocket engineers systems that make it possible to explore the full depth of research data, surface patterns that human analysis alone would miss, and deliver intelligence that clients can act on with confidence. Every solution is built for the rigor and reliability that enterprise decision-making demands.

Why This Partnership Matters

The market research industry has reached an inflection point. The question is no longer whether AI has a role — it’s whether AI will be used to simply replicate what’s been done before, or to unlock a genuinely new standard of insight. Basis Global and AnswerRocket are committed to the latter. By combining Basis’s methodological excellence and deep expertise in consumer understanding with AnswerRocket’s AI engineering capability, clients gain access to research that is more thorough, more reliable, and more strategically valuable than what either partner could deliver independently. The result is brand intelligence that doesn’t just inform, but that transforms how clients understand their markets and make decisions.

Shared Perspectives

Why This Partnership, Why Now

The question we kept coming back to was: what are our clients not getting today, and why? It’s not just about speed. Our clients don’t need faster versions of the same research. They need deeper, more complete insights that actually drive decisions. AI makes that possible in ways it wasn’t before, and that’s what this partnership is designed to deliver.
Rune Mortensen

CEO, Basis Global

Basis has the research expertise and the vision for what the future of insights should be. What we bring is the AI engineering expertise to bring that vision to life in the form of scalable, secure, and reliable enterprise-grade solutions. When you combine those two capabilities, clients get undeniably higher quality insights they can trust.

Pillars of Our Partnership

A New Standard for Market Research

Four pillars define the value clients experience from the Basis Global × AnswerRocket partnership, each built on a fundamental rethinking of what research can deliver.

01

Reimagine Market Research in the Age of AI

Most firms are using AI to do what they’ve always done, only faster. That’s not transformation. This partnership was built on a different premise: AI is a powerful enabler of an entirely new approach to research, one that delivers outcomes that weren’t possible before. We’re not optimizing the old model. We’re replacing it.

Industry Innovation

02

Drive Brand Outcomes, Not Just Speed

Faster research isn’t better research. This partnership was built around a different standard: delivering the depth and completeness clients need to make confident decisions. What clients receive is a more complete understanding of their brand, backed by traceable data and delivered as actionable guidance from senior researchers who know their business.

Outcomes Focus

03

Researcher Expertise, Amplified by AI

AI makes it possible to test hundreds of hypotheses across markets, audiences, and time periods. But scale without expertise is just noise. Researchers remain at the center of every engagement: designing the framework, interpreting the findings, and translating them into clear strategic guidance your leadership team can act on.

Human + AI Methodology

04

Built for the Enterprise

Serious research demands serious infrastructure. Basis brings decades of research expertise and a clear vision for the future of insights. AnswerRocket brings the AI engineering to make that vision production-ready. Together, they deliver solutions that are secure, scalable, and reliable; not just in pilots, but at the scale your business demands.

Enterprise-grade Solutions
Joint Innovation

Our First Innovation, Now Available

The partnership launches with AI-enhanced brand tracking that sets a higher bar for what brand intelligence can look like.

First Joint Innovation

Researcher + AI Methodology for Brand Tracking

Traditional brand tracking has always required a tradeoff: broad coverage or analytical depth, not both. Our new Researcher + AI methodology eliminates that tradeoff. AI systematically analyzes the full dataset based on your research objectives, testing relevant hypotheses across every dimension of your brand health data. Basis analysts direct the research strategy, interpret the findings within the context of your category and competitive landscape, and deliver a strategic narrative that gives you a clear, complete picture of where your brand stands and what to do next.

The result is brand intelligence that is more thorough, more reliable, and more strategically actionable than traditional tracking alone, designed to give you undeniably higher quality insights you can trust.

Brand Strategy Quantitative AI Full-Dataset Analysis Strategic Narrative
The Conventional ApproachThe Basis × AnswerRocket Approach
Partial Data Exploration
Traditional brand tracking limits how much of the data analysts can realistically explore. Critical signals get left behind because there isn’t time to examine every cut.
Full-Dataset Analysis
AI systematically tests all relevant hypotheses across the entire dataset, not just pre-defined questions, so brand decisions are grounded in the complete evidence.
Researchers Constrained by Volume
The depth of interpretation is limited by how much data a team can realistically process within time and budget.
Researchers Empowered by AI
Expert analysts shape the research strategy and interpret every finding, backed by 20+ years of Basis research expertise and supported by AI to perform exhaustive analysis.
Interpretation Left to Clients
Research culminates in a presentation of findings. What it means for strategy is left to the client to interpret
Recommendations, Not Just Reports
Every engagement closes with a strategic narrative and stakeholder-ready recommendations you can act on with confidence.
Insights You Have to Defend
Gaps in coverage leave room for doubt about what was missed and why.
Insights You Can Put Your Name To
Deterministic analysis with verified outputs means every finding is backed by the data, not just supported by it.
