A note from our founder

To help you know and be known by those most important to you.

Kyser Thompson, Founder

Over the past few months, I’ve spoken to over two dozen insights leaders at big brands about the effect of technology on their teams and our industry, and I’ve consistently heard things like …

Technology is advancing faster than I can keep up.

I feel like there’s very little we can do right now because of data privacy concerns.

Do I really need to jump in on AI or should we take a wait-and-see approach? 

I get three emails a day with a pitch for a new “AI-powered” research tool.  

I feel like my team and I need to be AI-skilled, or at a minimum, AI-informed. 

Are we moving too far away from connecting with real humans?

What can we do/learn while we wait for corporate to figure out our AI policies?

It’s tough to apply the learnings we got from this new tool we tried out.

I know we need to get better and faster at delivering richer insights that affect our business, but I don’t have time to get us there.

There’s clearly a need to bridge the gap between advancements in technology and meaningful (and actionable) insights. It’s why I started The Known Collective. As a group of insights and tech professionals who know people and know technology, we’ve made it our mission to remove the pressures of things like AI by providing the means to understand it, use it, and ultimately leverage it to do your job more effectively and efficiently.

We are here to help you answer these questions and navigate these issues, to guide you in using technology in the right ways, and to get you to the heart of those you want to know most – because it’s the heart of what you do.
