What These Nominations Mean 

This year’s nominations highlight Basis’s ability to push boundaries—whether by tackling public health challenges, redefining consumer strategies, or creating lasting business impact. Each project reflects the innovation and commitment that make Basis a leader in insight consultancy. 

Group CEO Rune Mortensen shares
“These nominations aren’t just about our success—they’re about the trust our clients place in us, the bravery we bring to every challenge, and the real-world impact we create together.” 

Charlotte Smith, Managing Partner, adds: 
“What makes these nominations special is that they reflect the range and depth of what we do—healthcare, B2B, creative, and beyond. They’re also a testament to the talent and passion of our team, who consistently deliver results that matter.” 

What Drives Us Forward
