Hatched in 2014, Sleeping Duck was founded by Melbourne-based engineers Winston Wijeyeratne and Selvam Sinnappan. Frustrated by the expensive, tedious, and confusing process of buying a bed, the duo decided to roll up their sleeves and literally make their own bed (so as to then lie in it).
The hunt for the right mattress is stressful enough to keep anyone up at night. With so many models, firmnesses, and emerging technologies, we felt it was time to bring a good nights sleep back to basics. So we put all our effort into designing one (yes, just one) seriously comfortable mattress. We continuously research, design, test and implement improvements based on customer feedback, so were pretty comfortable in saying that our pursuit of the perfect mattress is... tireless.

Qualies mission is to help brands see clearly.
Were doing this by bringing the humanity back to research. No dots and bots, just real human stories captured in video and analysed on our proprietary platform at scale.
Our platform efficiencies means our director-level researchers spend more time on solutions, less time faffing.
We distill the data so you don’t have to.
Our focus is in achieving real world change, not death by PowerPoint

Tanssu designs travel goods for people who have nothing to prove, and everything to appreciate.
We started with a simple observation: luggage has rarely been asked to be both genuinely functional and genuinely well designed. Too often, its one or the other - style without substance, or durability without any real point of view. We think thats a false choice.
Every Tanssu piece is built through both lenses at once. The travellers real needs come first; the design follows from that, not around it. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. Nothing functional is left unrefined.
Our founding range is a carry-on and a matching tote, designed and considered together. Each piece is made to be used for years, not seasons, and backed by a lifetime warranty.
Designed for the considered and artful traveller - wherever theyre headed next.

Most brand tools show you data. BrandScience.ai tells you what to do with it.
Traditional brand trackers - NPS, awareness scores, customer satisfaction - tell you what happened. Not why. And not what to do next.
BrandScience.ai measures brand equity by surveying your actual customers across 50+ interconnected metrics, then uses AI to map whats actually driving - or limiting - your brand.
The result is a real-time brand equity model that connects what customers think and feel with what they actually do - repeat purchasing, referrals, willingness to pay a premium.
Built on validated academic research. Up and running in under 5 minutes.
→ Reveals the levers behind your brand performance
→ Benchmarks you against your category
