Cicada Research
& Communication
The research exists.
We find it, translate it, and put it to work.
Evidence without the cost. Application without the wait.
Over 630,000 peer reviewed research articles were published TODAY.
There is a huge chance that someone has researched your problem already.
If you’re not tapping into this resource, here are your dilemmas…
You don’t know what you don’t know.
You have information - but not enough insight.
You can’t defend your approach - because it wasn’t based on fact.
You’re about to make a super-expensive mistake, probably by doing original research that’s already been done somewhere else.
We find the data on your problem.
Then we package it into something your people find easy to absorb, understand and apply.

The Cicada guarantee
We're so confident in the value of our work that we back it with four commitments — because the risk of hiring us should always be lower than the risk of not knowing.
Plain language — If any member of your team can't absorb and act on the findings, we rework it until they can. No jargon. No exceptions.
Rapid turnaround — a foundational research briefing delivered within five business days of receiving your brief. A bigger field will be 15 business days. If we can't meet a deadline we've committed to, your next project is discounted.
No nasty surprises — We check the field before you sign up. If we can't find existing research that meaningfully addresses your problem, we tell you before you engage us. You'll never commission a review and discover there was nothing worth finding.
Defence-ready intelligence — If your approach is ever challenged by a funder, minister, or stakeholder and our briefing didn't give you the evidence to defend it, we'll do the additional research and translation at no charge.
