We are Anna, Rachel and Julia. We are Compton+Dean.

Our success is linked to the way we think

Our journey began on the corner of Old Compton Street and Dean Street at a research agency in Soho, the heart of London, and the UK’s historic home of advertising. An area that represents our brand and communications research expertise.

Fast forward and we’re still doing what we love, dedicated to the art of conversation.

We are likeminded individuals who enjoy each other’s company and, importantly, have fun working together.

Professionally we bring out the best in each other. Our individual strengths combined with our collective experience allows us to push our thinking further to maximise the value we bring to our clients.

Three minds and personalities…

Meet Anna

Anna is methodical in her approach, making sure no stone is left unturned. A quiet thinker, she listens before she speaks, delivering perspectives that are thoughtful, precise and far reaching.

Meet Julia

Julia has a systematic, logical mind. She enjoys digging into the details, but her thinking is broad. She has an innate ability to surface ideas quickly and deliver them with clarity. 

Meet Rachel

Rachel is an intuitive thinker, with a quick grasp of the bigger picture. She draws energy and inspiration from everything around her. She enjoys talking through her ideas to let them breathe and evolve.

There are times when a conversation needs to go broader and deeper. We work with our carefully curated network of partners around the globe, including local cultural experts, quantitative specialists, videographers and editors, semioticians, and behavioural scientists
