The beginning

Inform//Acción was founded in 1999 by Jorge Matte L. and Alfonso Rodríguez A.

Jorge, who has unfortunately passed away, was the guru and almost the creator of motivational research in Mexico, which then became what we now know as qualitative research.

Afonso was one of his first disciples in 1969, but beyond his long career, he is a fan of new technologies and methodologies: online communities, bulletin boards, mobile research, self-ethnography, behavioral economics…

Our Mission

To deeply study human beings -complex and difficult to predict- with a basis of scientific knowledge, and taking special care of every detail of our procedures.


Our Vision

To discover and reveal actionable insights that help our clients take adequate decisions for the development of their projects and brands.

Our Task

 

IT’S NOT ONE, IT’S FOUR: to listen, to observe, to analyze and to collaborate.

 

Our Focus

"“THE CLIENT IS ALWAYS RIGHT”.

We will do whatever our client asks for, but whenever it is relevant, we will recommend using new technologies and methodologies.

Among them, our favorite: Bulletin Board Groups (BBGs).

All-round talent
Our pets have the names of two famous comic characters. Snoopy encourages us to be dreamy, optimistic and relaxed. Mafalda urges us to be idealistic, challenging and concerned about the socio-political environment. Together, they remind us of our objective: to study similarities and differences across targets in order to come up with actionable insights.
