creating customer value

Context was founded by business anthropologists Robbie and Belinda Blinkoff.
Context cut its teeth in advertising, marketing, branding and web design.
Observational research, or ethnography, is at the center of what we do -- which means the customer is at the center of all we do.
We feel very fortunate to get to do what we love and serve as a strategic resource for so many incredible people and organizations.
