THE LOW·DOWN [N. LOH-DOUN]

THE REAL AND UNADORNED FACTS; THE TRUE, SECRET OR INSIDE INFORMATION.

"When I work with James, I know I’ll get top-quality ethnographic product, but I’m surprised again and again that I always get wisdom. “Insight” is a flimsy word in our world; but connection and compassion and understanding — well, that’s what James and his grade-A crew peddle.”

​

— Michael Fanuele, President, Media Assembly

“James is a commercial secret weapon, a storyteller who uses film and video to bring insights to life. He is quick, smart, visual and absolutely incredible at interviewing to garner insights.”

​

— Marian Salzman, SVP, Global Communications for Philip Morris International

“James and the Lowdown blew it out of the park. The insights have been all over the world within Gap brand and the momentum only continues. If you are looking for next level, inspirational and thought provoking insights, you’ve found the right company. I highly recommend them!“

​

— Courtney Minor, Director of Consumer Insights, Gap Brand

“The Lowdown are a dream come true for anyone looking to produce and chronicle an ethnographic study or a consumer creative workshop. James’ understanding of his craft is first-rate, and his ability to develop reality-style ethnographic research and other powerful tools means he is a joy to work with.”

​

— Graeme Hutton, Communications Research and Insights Director, Universal McCann
