Fifteen years ago, Fiftyfive5 was founded on a bold principle: “insights that fuel growth”. Unwilling to settle for the market research agency norm of simply collecting data, we reimagined the role an agency could play; placing insights at the centre of meaningful change. From day one, our focus was not just on findings, but on implications and driving commercial and societal action for our clients.

What began as a startup quickly grew into Australia’s largest and most awarded independent market research agency. Fast forward to the end of 2022, our boldest reinvention came when Fiftyfive5 joined Accenture Song. This move accelerated our access to global scale, technology, and multidisciplinary expertise, strengthening a shared vision of helping brands grow and governments deliver through data driven decision making, creativity, and innovation. This expanded our ecosystem of tools, talent, and technology, allowing us to evolve beyond traditional market research.

Fiftyfive5’s team of ANZ’s most experienced qualitative and quantitative specialists continue to work with experts in data and AI, advanced analytics, digital ethnography, cultural insights, semiotics, behavioural science and cultural forecasting, and now as part of Accenture, our deep research capabilities are connected to a global network of expertise in strategy, technology, operations and digital transformation, enabling end-to-end solutions for our clients.

Through each chapter of our growth journey, our core vision has remained unwavering: research should drive meaningful change; commercially or for society. While strategic reinventions have enabled us to scale, evolve, and expand our capabilities, each transformation has amplified our purpose, not altered it; proving that growth and purpose can go hand in hand.

Our vision continues to be grounded in:

•         Solving the right problem: Attaining total clarity on the problem to solve and its growth potential for clients.

•         Blending data sources: Integrating qualitative, quantitative, cultural, and commercial data.

•         Human-centric understanding: Uncovering behavioural levers and the “why behind the what”.

•         Embedding insights: Ensuring outcomes are actionable and embedded within client organisations.

Leveraging technology to amplify the efficiency and impact of our work.
