OUR STORY
We’re proud to say we’ve been consistently recognised for the quality of our work, winning the award for business impact in 2023 and further commendations in the MRS independent consultants award in 2019 and 2021.
Deep Blue Thinking is a Company Partner of the MRS, reflecting the high standards we adhere to in designing and delivering research programmes, no matter how big or small.
After 25 years working in the research industry, Nick Bonney founded Deep Blue Thinking in 2018.
Nick has spent most of his life on the client side, having led Insight functions for Orange, M&S, EE and The National Lottery. He was also MD of ABA Research, helping the country’s leading retailers unlock growth by understanding the emotions behind shopping.
Building on his experience from both sides of the fence, Nick saw an opportunity to better help brands bridge the gap between brand and their consumer.
Nick was awarded Fellowship of The Market Research Society in 2018 and continues to play an active role in shaping the industry through his roles in the MRS Mentoring Scheme and University outreach programme.
