Research Analyst — No Team Scale-Up Needed
Context

The Agency Challenge

A Dubai marketing agency needed to respond to client briefs faster. Every new brief triggered the same manual loop: hours on GWI, Google, and industry databases before a single insight could be put in front of a client.

For Team Red Dot's Research Analyst, Khushi, the bottleneck wasn't capability — it was time. The agency had the strategic instinct. What they needed was a way to generate research volume without scaling headcount.

Challenges

Insight at Client Speed

Before LAILA, the research process looked like this:

  • 1–2 hours per audience hypothesis using GWI and desktop research

  • Manual persona creation with limited behavioural depth

  • No way to test multiple strategic directions simultaneously

  • Niche brand-specific consumer sentiment — unavailable at any speed

Traditional fieldwork was an option for flagship campaigns — not for every brief that landed on Monday with a Friday deadline.

"Brands assume women walk in, pick something, and leave happy. That's not how this category works. Buying is emotional, social, and often impulsive—what you saw on a friend yesterday can trigger a purchase today. Traditional profiling misses that entirely."

— Kavita Ramrakhiani, Founder

The Solution

LAILA as the Research Layer

Team Red Dot integrated LAILA as a force-multiplier at the front end of the research process — not to replace existing tools, but to dramatically accelerate the intelligence-gathering phase.

  • Market research reports on any category — generated in minutes

  • Synthetic persona generation from plain-language demographic descriptions

  • Consumer verbatims on niche brand topics (e.g. specific ride-share or F&B brands)

  • Audience hypothesis testing before committing to strategic direction

The key differentiator: LAILA could generate specific consumer quotes on hyper-specific brand categories — insight that previously had no equivalent at any cost or timeline.

The Result

80 Reports. One Pilot. No Field Research.

Over the pilot engagement, Khushi generated 80 market research reports — cutting research time by 80% compared to the team's manual workflow. That volume covered audience persona development, consumer sentiment analysis, category-level market research, and concept framing for client pitches.

At previous output rates, producing the same volume would have required a significantly larger team, a substantially higher budget, and weeks of fieldwork. With LAILA: one analyst, $149 per report, pay-as-you-go.

"There was a very undeniable differentiator — consumer research with specific quotes on niche topics. Something as specialised as how a particular age group thinks about a specific brand's services. You couldn't get that anywhere else at that speed."

“Instead of doing three studies because you're willing to pay and wait — with LAILA you can do 100. Narrow down to the three most promising directions, then validate. That's not a question of if anymore. It's a question of when.”
