We our proud of our heritage

QRi Consulting was founded in 2010 by merging CRAM International® and QiQ International®

CRAM and QiQ were headed up by industry luminary Peter Cooper who, together with his colleagues at CRAM, pioneered the internationalisation of in-depth qualitative research from the 1980s onwards and coined our strapline – ‘Inside the Consumer Mind’TM
