We put in the effort to know before we act.
Every Distory engagement starts with research and for a growing share of our clients the research is the engagement: the evidence base that a communications strategy, a policy position or a funding case is built on.
Our work here covers market research, corporate intelligence, stakeholder mapping, programme analysis and communications environment scanning. We have delivered communication and research solutions in thirteen countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique, Madagascar, Mali and Côte d'Ivoire which means we bring comparative context rather than a single-market view. Our teams combine communications professionals with researchers and analysts, so the findings arrive in a form that can be acted on, not filed.
