About

I’m Marta Carrasco Quilis, a qualitative researcher and consumer & cultural insights professional based in Barcelona with 20+ years of experience helping brands and institutions understand people, culture, and emerging social trends. I’ve worked across sectors like FMCG, health & beauty, automotive, fashion and luxury, leisure and education—always with a strategic, empathetic, and deeply human approach.

My work focuses on uncovering meaningful insights and translating them into actionable knowledge for brand strategy, innovation, and culturally relevant communication. I specialize in qualitative methods (focus groups, IDIs, and ethnography—online and in-person), with a strong emphasis on young audiences and new generations (Millennials, Gen Z, Alpha), trendsetters and early adopters, and on adapting global strategies to the Spanish context. I’m also training in the ethical and rigorous application of AI in research.
