“We reached out to Gill and the team to help us better understand the complex areas of mental health, wellbeing, and resilience in families. Luckily, they felt less like external consultants and more like long-standing members of our team. From conducting engaging literature reviews, navigating the tricky world of ethics, providing safe and enjoyable environments for children and families, through to translating the research into great insights – the collaboration was seamless.
They were understanding, responsive, and above all enthusiastic about the research. It was a pleasure, and I would definitely recommend Gill and the team.”

“We engaged Vogl & Blake to get some insights from our preferred customer segments that could assist in our own marketing plan. We got so much more than that. The research was very well planned, and it was amazing the calibre of people Gillian was able to get access to. The research provided fantastic insights not only into the different market segments we want to expand in, but little “nuggets of gold” that Gillian and her team were able to distill from the research that we are using to improve and strengthen our own business. Gillian maintained regular communication throughout the research phase, and the final report was thorough, but with very specific points that we can focus on. It was a really rewarding and fascinating exercise to go through, and one I would look to do again in future as we grow our business.“

“Working with Gill has been a highlight to the start of my new business. Gill was very professional, thorough and quick to learn about our industry. Starting a new business is a challenge and understanding your target market is crucial. I had recently completed a Diploma of Marketing and learnt about the value of qualitative and quantitative research in understanding your target market but had no idea on how or where to find someone who did this for small businesses. I was fortunate to have been introduced to Gil through a mutual colleague and the insight and connections I have gained through this research is invaluable. I now have a better understanding of what my customer is looking for and an introduction to councils and large businesses that could have taken me years to get. I thoroughly recommend Gil and her team and believe the investment into this research will more than pay for itself with the leads and connections that have developed from this.“

They were professional, thorough and accommodating, and delivered everything as promised. The research process was carried out efficiently and with the understanding and consideration needed.

“We worked with Vogl & Blake on market research in the area of mental health and eating disorders. They worked with sensitivity and enthusiasm, and went above and beyond what was required. They also had the flexibility needed to conduct a wide range of research tasks, from literature reviews to focus groups and stakeholder interviews, gaining rich insights which we have applied across our organization. They were a pleasure to work with and I would do so again.“

“Gillian and Vogl & Blake Research Consultants are professional, responsive and clear, as you would expect from a top notch research firm. They are however also insightful and intuitively know what’s going to resonate most strongly with our community – qualities that can be difficult to find. Having worked with Gill on several projects I would happily recommend her and her team.”

“I’ve had the great pleasure of working with Gill and Victoria on multiple research projects over a number of years. They have an ability to really grasp a research brief, understand the needs of the client and deliver and execute to a tailored proposal.They conduct their work in a highly organized and efficient way, and their inclusive values and ethical approaches really shine through. Their passion for people and love of research is apparent in the way they facilitate projects.
Gill and Victoria also do an excellent job presenting research in an accessible and engaging way making it easy for their clients to translate the research into practice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gill and Victoria to anyone.”

“I worked with Gill and Victoria on a project which had the goal of effectively communicating with young people about eating disorders in a digital setting. They facilitated a series of workshops with a group of 15-20 young people, over the course of several months. The workshops were conducted in a manner that really engaged the young people involved, and helped us gather some real insights into how they thought, both about their health, and the way information should be presented to them online. The support documentation was extremely thorough, and we kept coming back to it throughout the design and build of the product. The whole process was outstanding, and to a large degree made the end product what it was. I’d recommend Gill and Victoria without hesitation.”

“Thanks so much for helping us out with short notice to develop our Place Plan. I know we didn’t have much time but you were really patient with us and very willing to listen to our feedback and make the changes to the document as requested. Overall I thought the process went very smoothly and a lot of that credit goes to you for making yourself available to meet our timeframes. The Plan was endorsed internally and ahead of our own schedule. So thanks very much and hope we can work together again sometime.”
