At the beginning there is always the deepUnderstanding the market
In order to successfully conquer a market or to maintain a market position, it is essential in our eyes to know it well in its depth and dynamics. This is far from just about standards such as competitive observations. Rather, the mechanisms of action, the hidden logics of a market, are the effective levers with which success strategies are developed.
Practice at its best

Worldwide qualitative market research
The rheingold institut is based in Cologne. But this does not apply to our customers and certainly not to their brands. In this way, we also serve purely national customers through our branches in San Francisco and Shanghai. But also many internationally active companies – virtually the whole world from a single source. The blue areas of the map show you in which regions we regularly conduct research:

In order to meet an intercultural demand in a modern market research world, it is a matter of course at rheingold to fill the research teams with experts from different countries.
We see CrossCulture as a joint project, with our cooperation partners in the respective countries as well as a bi-national interview team. Only the addition of a supra-regional perspective of the rheingold project management as well as local researcher’s perspective on site avoids ‘blind spots’ and detects cultural events and similarities.
Through this proactive, intercultural exchange, rheingold acts as a cultural translator and ensures the well-known rheingold research quality – all over the world.
