‘I have been partnering with 8TH DAY team for the last 5 years. They are the most strategic, in-culture, insights agency I have ever worked with.
They are indispensable to my team and my brand and have been instrumental in our journey of brand & performance transformation – from repositioning to innovation to brand experiences, resulting in double digit growth for the past two years from 10 years of consecutive declines. Their impact has been huge. I look forward to continue building on our partnership.’
_ Global Planning Director, Diageo
‘Since the first day they opened for business, 8TH DAY has become a valued partner for the L’Oréal Groupe. Their cross-divisional experience with us gives them knowledge of our organisation that few other agencies share.
We have partnered with them on recent brand acquisitions; new creative territories for Mugler alongside the brand’s creative director; key strategic work to understand sustainability and the future of sustainable dermatology, and working directly with our CEO to help develop our Group sense of purpose. Most importantly, they are smart, fun and passionate about their work and their clients’ businesses.’
_ Senior Leader Consumer Insight, L’Oréal
‘We consider 8TH DAY as a close partner. They have been the lynchpin in the collaboration with internal teams and external partners like MiT, Crowd DNA and Accenture.
They have consolidated all gathered data and insights together and translated them into a set of clear opportunity areas in a digestible report that has been of great value to the IKEA organisation and our franchisees. I don’t know many agencies that have such a great ability to collaborate with so many partners. They have helped IKEA move toward the next stage of development with confidence and insight.’
