Market Research

Know what your market thinks before you spend your budget on guessing

Are your customers loyal or just not complaining yet? Is your brand growing in the markets that matter? Does your new product actually have a market? UXArmy answers the marketing questions that keep CMOs up at night with NPS and CSAT tracking, Brand health surveys, Usage and Attitude studies, and Concept testing. Delivered by a team with six decades of combined market research experience. At a price that makes sense for a growing business.

You're committing budget to assumptions

Enterprise marketing teams measure everything except what their market actually thinks.

Every major marketing decision carries an assumption about what your market believes. Campaign positioning, product launches, market entry, and brand health all get committed on instinct and validated after the spend. UXArmy moves that validation to the front of the decision.

Six decades of solid research experience. Delivered at the speed your decisions actually move.
UXArmy's research team has built brand trackers for FMCG manufacturing and tech companies, run NPS programmes for telecoms, designed concept tests for SMEs, and mapped categories for brands entering new markets. The difference is what sits behind them: a platform that handles recruitment, fielding, and analysis, so studies that take a traditional agency eight weeks land in three. Same methodological rigour that enterprise brands commission from Kantar and Ipsos, at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the wait.

What we answer

Four marketing questions. Four services to answer them.

Every brand has questions it can’t answer from its own data. These are the four we’re asked most often and how we answer them.

Question 1 — Are my customers loyal, or are they just not leaving yet?

The problem
Are my customers loyal, or are they just not leaving yet?

Satisfied customers and loyal customers are not the same thing. A customer who doesn't complain isn't necessarily happy. They might just not have found a better alternative yet. When they do, they'll leave without warning. And you won't know why, because you never asked.

Most growing businesses have a rough sense of whether customers are happy. Almost none of them have a systematic, regular measurement of customer loyalty that would tell them if that happiness is building, eroding, or about to collapse.

The answer — NPS, CSAT and eNPS Tracking
Customer Loyalty and Satisfaction Tracking

UXArmy runs recurring NPS (Net Promoter Score), CSAT (Customer Satisfaction), and eNPS (Employee NPS) programmes, monthly or quarterly, across your markets in APAC and beyond. Each round includes open-ended feedback so you know not just what the score is, but why it moved.

The result: a continuous read on customer loyalty that tells you when satisfaction is building, when it's dipping, and what's driving it, before it becomes a churn problem.

What you get: A loyalty score you can track over time. Verbatim customer feedback that explains the score. Market-by-market breakdowns for multi-country businesses. Trend analysis between measurement rounds. A clear view of which part of the experience is driving loyalty up or down.

Question 2 — Is my brand actually growing, or am I just assuming it is?

The problem
Is my brand actually growing, or am I just assuming it is?

You're investing in marketing. You're running campaigns. Your product is in the market. But how many people in your target audience have actually heard of you? Of those who have, how many would consider buying? And how do you compare to the two or three competitors your customers are also looking at?

Without a brand health tracker, these questions have only one honest answer: you don't know. You're allocating marketing budget based on hope, not measurement.

The answer — Brand Health Tracker
Brand Health Tracking

A brand health tracker is a regular survey of your target audience, measuring brand awareness (do they know you exist?), consideration (would they choose you?), preference (do they choose you over competitors?), and brand perception (what do they associate with your brand?).

UXArmy runs brand health trackers quarterly or bi-annually across your target markets in APAC, with competitive benchmarking against the brands your customers are comparing you to. Each wave tells you whether your brand is growing, holding steady, or losing ground, and what's driving the movement.

What you get: A brand health scorecard per market. Awareness, consideration, and preference scores vs your chosen competitors. Brand association tracking, the words and feelings customers link to your brand. Wave-on-wave trend reporting. A clear read on whether your marketing investment is building brand equity or not.

Question 3 — Do I actually understand the market I'm competing in?

The problem
Do I actually understand the market I'm competing in?

You know your product. You know your brand. But how well do you know your category, who's in it, what drives purchase, what gaps exist, and how customers in Indonesia or Malaysia think about this category differently from customers in Singapore or Australia?

Most growing brands make positioning, campaign, and investment decisions based on internal assumptions about who their customer is and why they buy. A usage and attitude study replaces those assumptions with data, before they turn into expensive mistakes.

The answer — Usage and Attitude Study
Usage and Attitude Study (U&A)

A usage and attitude study, sometimes called a needs and habits study, is a large-scale consumer survey that maps who uses your category, how often, in what context, what drives their purchase decisions, and what needs are currently unmet. It's the market map your brand strategy should be built on.

For businesses entering APAC markets or launching into a new category, a U&A study is typically the most valuable research investment they can make. It tells you where the opportunity is before you commit to a positioning. UXArmy runs U&A studies across single and multi-country markets, with local-language surveying and qualitative depth interviews where needed.

What you get: A full consumer map of your category: who buys, how often, why, and through which channels. Audience segmentation by behaviour and motivation. A clear picture of what drives brand switching. Unmet needs your product or marketing could address. The strategic foundation for a brand, campaign, or market entry.

Question 4 — Will this actually work, before I spend the budget to find out?

The problem
Will this actually work, before I spend the budget to find out?

A new product. A new campaign. A new brand name. A new market entry. Every one of these involves a moment where you have to bet your budget on something you think will work. Most of the time, that bet is informed by internal opinions, founder intuition, and a few conversations with customers you already know.

Nearly 95% of new product launches fail. The ones that succeed are disproportionately the ones that tested their concept with real consumers before committing the build budget.

The answer — Concept Testing
Concept Testing

Concept testing puts your idea in front of real consumers in your target market, before you launch it. They tell you how appealing it is, whether they'd buy it, how it compares to alternatives, and what would make it better. You get ranked scores across 2 to 5 concepts plus the qualitative reasoning behind the numbers.

UXArmy runs concept tests for product ideas, campaign territories, brand names, packaging options, and pricing structures, across APAC markets simultaneously. You find out which concept to back, which to refine, and which to drop, before you've committed a significant budget to any of them.

What you get: Ranked scores across your concepts: appeal, relevance, purchase intent, and uniqueness. The reasoning behind the scores, what consumers like, what they don't, and what they wish it was. Market-by-market breakdown for concepts being considered across multiple APAC markets. A clear recommendation: which concept to progress, and why.

Why choose us

The research quality you’d expect from a large agency. Without the large agency price tag.

Traditional market research agencies charge what they charge because they’ve built their business model for enterprise clients who buy $500,000 annual contracts. Their pricing, timelines, and project structures were not designed for a 200-person company trying to validate a product concept before Series B, or a regional brand trying to understand if their awareness campaign is working in Indonesia.
UXArmy was. And the difference is not just in the price.

In-market research across the globe

UXArmy’s research is conducted by teams who are actually in your markets not subcontracted to local vendors. Surveys and interviews run in Japanese, Korean, Bahasa Indonesian, Thai, Mandarin, Hindi, and more because your customers in those markets think and respond in their own language, not just in English.

Faster turnaround than traditional agencies

Traditional agencies measure timelines in months. UXArmy uses its own platform to deploy surveys, recruit participants, and run analysis compressing project timelines significantly without reducing the quality of what you receive. You get findings while the decision they’re informing is still open.

Senior researchers, not junior analysts

Multiple decades of combined market research experience means the person designing your brand health tracker or writing your concept test has done this before many times, across many categories and markets. You get the benefit of that experience in design of your market studies and not just in your report.

Research and platform in the same place.
For studies that run on the UXArmy platform NPS surveys, brand trackers, concept scoring you get faster turnaround and lower cost because participant recruitment, survey deployment, and analysis run in the same system. For studies requiring in-depth interviews, focus groups, or in-person fieldwork, the same research team delivers end-to-end. Either way, one team, one brief, one clear output.

Commonly Asked Questions

What marketing leaders ask before they switch research partners.

Here are answers to common questions you might have.

Sample integrity is where most cost savings in research quietly come from, so it is the right thing to interrogate. UXArmy sources from its own UserAdvocate panel and vetted partner panels, with quotas set on the demographic and category variables that matter for your study rather than on age and gender alone. Every respondent passes identity and duplication checks before entry, and each dataset is screened for straightlining, speeding, and inconsistent responses before analysis begins. You receive the full sample composition and any weighting applied, so your insights team can audit the base rather than take it on trust.

Yes, and the continuity question gets addressed at design stage rather than discovered at wave three. UXArmy reviews your existing questionnaire, sample frame, and fielding method, then holds constant the variables that drive comparability while flagging anything that will introduce a step change in the data. Where a genuine break is unavoidable, we run a parallel wave so you have a bridging read instead of an unexplained movement to defend to your board. Most tracker migrations we handle preserve wave-on-wave comparability on the core metrics.

The savings come out of operations, not out of rigour. A traditional agency’s cost base carries manual fielding, offshore data processing, layered project management, and the overhead of an organisation built to service $500,000 annual contracts. UXArmy runs recruitment, deployment, coding, and analysis on its own platform, which removes most of that layer and puts senior researcher time where it changes the answer: questionnaire design, analysis, and interpretation. The practical effect for a CMO is frequency. The same budget that buys one annual tracker buys quarterly waves, and quarterly is where a tracker starts informing decisions instead of documenting them.

The researchers who scope your study are the researchers who design and analyse it. UXArmy’s market research team carries six decades of combined experience across brand tracking, loyalty programmes, category mapping, and concept testing, and that seniority sits on the questionnaire and the analysis rather than on the pitch deck. You will know the named lead researcher before you sign, and that person presents the findings to your team. There is no handoff to an unnamed delivery pod after the contract closes.

Yes, and continuity gets designed in at the start rather than discovered at wave three. UXArmy reviews your existing questionnaire, sample frame, and fielding method, holds constant the variables that drive comparability, and flags anything that will introduce a step change in the data before you commit. Where a genuine break is unavoidable, we field a parallel wave so you have a bridging read rather than an unexplained movement to defend to your board.

By designing the study so the metrics move in step with something your finance team already tracks. Brand health waves get timed against your media flighting so consideration shifts can be read against spend, and loyalty programmes are structured so score movement can be examined alongside your churn and retention data. UXArmy will not claim a causal link the design cannot support, and a researcher who promises attribution from a tracker alone is selling you something. What you get is a defensible read on whether the investment is building the asset it was meant to build.

Yes. All four services can be run across multiple markets simultaneously with consistent survey design and market-by-market breakdowns in the results. Multi-market research is a core strength of UXArmy’s operations: in-market teams handle local-language surveying and analysis in each market. You receive a unified cross-market study not a set of separate country reports that don’t speak to each other.
