Solving tough business problems through great brand experiences.

Let's connect

Real growth happens at the edge of comfort.


We don’t conduct research that lives in a pretty deck and gets filed away. For over 25 years, Big Squirrel has specialized in research that clarifies decisions, rallies teams, and ignites transformation.

OUR VISION

Build brands that matter.

We’re here to help companies and organizations create more alignment between what they say and do, and to matter more: to their audience, to their stakeholders, to the world.

OUR MISSION

Create meaningful brand experiences.

No surface fixes. No playing it safe. We dig deep, build bold, and execute with the kind of precision that turns good companies into unforgettable ones.

Squirrels are people, too.
