Truth Be Gold Core Values

Consumer truths underpin groundbreaking insight. We are relentless to discover what drives consumers' beliefs, decision-making and behaviour. Not all research techniques are created equal; the selection requires an expert approach. Tools that access the subconscious mind gain the most significant depth of insight. Insights are only ever uncovered by synthesising information from multiple sources.

Founder of Truth be gold

Emma Woodley
To support our clients' needs, we work with Cowry Consulting, Cloud Army, and carefully selected experts in their field both in the UK and globally.

Emma Woodley, the Founder of Truth be Gold, has spent her 25+ year career working client-side and as a consultant on some of the biggest brands in the world, using consumer insight, strategy and innovation to drive them to even greater heights. She is passionate about understanding people, creativity, and strategy and believes the best work happens when all three collide.

She is an expert in Behavioural Insight and has worked client-side on KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Curry's, Dixons, PC World, Hallmark Cards and Booker Foodservice.

While traditional research is where Emma started her career, she is a pioneer of behavioural insight techniques and has perfected them globally for the last 20 years. These protocols have allowed her to access customers' subconscious minds to unlock deeper insight. As a result, she is an expert in Psychometric, Biometric and Neurometric Techniques and, of course, Traditional Research Tools.

While client-side, she led the insight function globally for Yum Brands based in Dallas, Texas, USA. As a result, she has gained valuable international experience and a long career working in the UK.

She now works with clients in the hospitality, food & beverage, retail, financial services, automotive and government categories—both with corporate clients and agencies. Emma is also an Associate of two leading consultancies in their fields; Cowry Consulting (Behavioural Economics) and Cloud Army (Neuroscience Research).
