B2B
Basis is a B2B insight consultancy helping organisations understand how buyers really think, compare, and decide. Through rigorous B2B market research, we turn complex decision journeys into clear strategic direction.
From positioning and go-to-market strategy to B2B brand tracking and message testing, we help teams see what is actually driving consideration, trust, and purchase. That means sharper positioning, faster decisions, and insight that connects directly to growth.
How B2B market research really works
B2B isn’t just complex.
It’s political. Messy. High-stakes. Long sales cycles, niche decision-makers, siloed teams — and pressure to get it right.
We help B2B brands find clarity in the chaos. From early-stage positioning to go-to-market execution, we deliver insight that helps you move faster, win internal buy-in, and grow with confidence.

B2B Market Research FAQ
A B2B market research agency helps businesses understand their buyers, competitors, and market dynamics through qualitative and quantitative research — including brand tracking, buyer journey mapping, segmentation, and pricing research. Unlike consumer firms, B2B specialists reach niche decision-makers in complex buying environments.
B2B targets professional decision-makers, not consumers. Sample sizes are smaller but more targeted. Buying cycles are longer with multiple stakeholders. Research accounts for both rational and emotional drivers across committee-based decisions.
Basis delivers B2B insight across energy and utilities, technology and SaaS, telecommunications, industrial and manufacturing, and financial services — spanning brand tracking, buyer journey mapping, proposition development, and creative testing.
B2B research projects range from £20,000 to £150,000+ depending on scope, markets, methodology, and audience complexity. Brand tracking is typically an ongoing retainer. Basis scopes every project individually.
B2B brand tracking measures how your brand is perceived over time by target buyers relative to competitors — tracking awareness, consideration, preference, and associations among smaller, harder-to-reach professional audiences.
We combine specialist B2B panels, client customer lists, LinkedIn-verified recruitment, industry events, and professional networks. For C-suite or technical specialists, we use custom recruitment rather than generic consumer panels.
