Bolt

The consumer evidence your strategy needs.

Bolt Insight gives management consulting and strategy firms the qualitative research, quantitative research and consumer intelligence they need to build stronger client recommendations, validate strategic hypotheses and deliver findings that hold up in the room.

The problem we solve

Management consultants and strategy teams are expected to deliver recommendations that are fast, rigorous and impossible to argue with. But consumer evidence is often the missing piece. Traditional market research moves too slowly for consulting timelines, costs too much to run at scale and rarely delivers the depth of human understanding needed to make a strategic narrative truly land. Bolt Insight was built for exactly this. Whether you work at a global management consultancy, a boutique strategy firm or an independent advisory practice, our AI-powered consumer research platform combines qualitative research, quantitative research and hybrid methodologies to give consulting teams the consumer evidence they need, at the speed their clients demand. Trusted by firms including Kearney and Deloitte, Bolt Insight brings real human insight into the heart of strategy.

The strategy was sound. The consumer evidence wasn't there to back it up.
