Luc Hinson is a freelance Ethnographic Researcher & Brand Strategist working to help brands better understand their consumers of today, in order to futureproof them against the changes of tomorrow.

Enough of that pompous third person-ism. With experience working in-field and remotely to facilitate deep-dive ethnographic research, I have acquired the skills to unearth rich, provocative insights and workshop them into actionable strategies.

I have worked with global clients across EMEA, NAM and APAC to gain a clearer, sharper and stronger understanding of who their consumer is, what matters most to them and what that means for the brand.

I employ a combination of mixed research methods, and craft bespoke methodologies depending on client needs and project scale.
