Research & Strategy

To truly connect with your audience, you need to understand them. At Ethnolink, we start by listening to uncover the insights that matter, then build strategies that help you engage meaningfully and make a real impact.

Our Approach

We combine our deep cultural expertise with community-centred research methodologies to shape strategies that resonate. It starts with understanding who you need to reach—and why. From there, we engage directly with communities through consultations, co-design sessions, and qualitative and quantitative research.

We explore lived experiences, motivations, and barriers to help you build trust and relevance. The outcome? Evidence-based strategies that are clear, actionable, and deeply community-informed—designed to drive connection and impact.

Our Solutions

We partner with you to understand your audience and develop effective strategies that drive real outcomes. From consultations and research to strategy development and concept testing, we ensure your approach is grounded in cultural insight and informed by community perspectives.

  • Every effective campaign starts with knowing exactly who you’re trying to reach. That includes understanding what your audience looks like, what drives them, the languages they speak, their English proficiency, when they arrived in Australia, and other key demographic indicators. We analyse critical data sources and build clear, practical audience personas - helping you decide which languages to translate into, which communities to consult, and how to tailor your communications with purpose.

  • Community consultations uncover the insights you can’t access through data alone. Through focus groups, one-on-one interviews, and online surveys, we explore community views on specific topics, cultural perceptions, and preferred communication channels. These structured engagements build trust and open dialogue, ensuring your communications are shaped by the people you’re trying to reach - not assumptions.

  • We take a rigorous, research-led approach to understanding multicultural audiences in depth. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, including surveys, focus groups, and in-depth interviews—we explore lived experiences, values, and behaviours. Where needed, we can seek ethics approval and conduct research at scale. Each project culminates in a comprehensive, standalone report, providing thematic analysis and key insights to support evidence-based decision making.

  • This is where insight becomes action. Drawing on everything we’ve learned - about your audience, your goals, and the broader context, we develop multicultural communication strategies that deliver real-world results. Whether it’s a targeted campaign or an organisation-wide plan, our strategies are clear, practical, and grounded in community understanding, so you can connect meaningfully and achieve impact where it matters most.
