Anne Lunt
President and CEO
The Visionary
Anne sees the potential in every person and project, using the phrase “it’s a good start!” with a smile in her voice. Whether encouraging clients to push towards white space innovation, or leading her family up a mountain, she quickly recognizes new paths to explore. Since her earliest days developing segmentation for Pampers and Luvs, she thrives on making connections and uncovering stories that activate growth. On weekends she is throwing themed parties or fulfilling her role as “baby whisperer” and is happiest when her house full of kids, dogs and dinner guests. ​

Mark strategically assesses needs, provides resources and offers unwavering support to empower the team. A calm voice in the middle of any unexpected technology or personnel storm, his quiet one-liners bring our high energy team safely back to shore. “Are you hungry? What can I get you?”

She has been known to win CrossFit competitions or open her basement as a temporary living space “adopting” extra relatives to add to the excitement of raising her own four kids.

Ryan Erickson
Sr. Manager
The Seeker​​​
Ryan lives life in the pursuit of answers - What is this song about? What drives consumer decision-making? What does my toddler need? The quest for knowledge, clarity, and connection drives Ryan’s approach to building relationships and solving complex problems. When he’s not helping clients learn something new, you can find Ryan enjoying the outdoors with his family, reading books, rooting on his favorite teams, or stretching in an attempt to prevent injury while playing recreational softball.
Allegra Ubbes
Manager
The Connector
Allegra drives to critical priorities that shape research narratives, sees the glass as half full, and consistently shares that optimism with her team. Always ready to learn and try something new, she has a passion for travel and has even lived in Paris twice. Ask her about her time as a D1 college athlete and how her “need for speed” continues on the soccer field, in the gym or through her ever-evolving adventures.

Cheryl Sydenstricker Lowe
Analyst Director
The Anticipator
Cheryl measures twice, cuts once … complex projects tremble at her name! She spends much of her time quietly running the world behind the scenes (popping up with her signature dry humor). Her ability to anticipate needs and deliver with excellence is foundational. Cheryl speaks multiple languages including Seinfeld and Paw Patrol, and spends her evenings playing games of strategy and chance such as Candyland and “what food did I just step in?”.

Phillip Lunt
Growth Strategy Lead
The Challenger
Phillip enjoys conceptual puzzles and is adept at finding solutions, seeing the possibilities in complex situations. With an insatiable curiosity as his guide, he jumps at the opportunity to incorporate new discoveries into time-tested wisdom. Just ask him how his young kids show him new spots to throw dinner food in the kitchen that he never knew existed. When not nerding out about brand distinctiveness or getting captivated by a well-crafted ad, you can find him wrestling with his boys or going for an outdoor run.

Nathan Beverly
Research Analyst
The Bard
Part data geek, part creative, Nathan gets genuinely excited about turning piles of numbers into a clear story. He’s been on both sides of the client-vendor table during his 23 years in research and loves bringing those points of view together. When he’s not chasing insights, he’s usually finding new ways to get his five kids to touch grass, restocking his empty fridge, or making music—he sings and plays multiple instruments, often at the same time!
