At Pollen we understand that product teams need to move fast. Waiting months for validation and insights is not feasible and doing research in-house can slow the velocity of your project, taking team members away from what they do best.

Our expertise lies in identifying the best research approach to better understand your users, synthesising the research insights to provide you with the best approach so you can meet and exceed your users' expectations.

Below is a break down of the services we provide.

Product Validation
When you need insights fast without compromising quality

Our expert researchers will become an extension of your team and can suggest the best research method to test and validate your designs and prototypes for existing or future products. We will consult with you to understand what insights you would like to gather from your users and how your product is meeting their expectations.

We also partner with product organisations to develop a program of continual user testing sessions on either a fortnightly or monthly basis to ensure your investments are aligning with customer needs.
