Hall & Partners' Grant Bird Joins house51

Former Hall & Partners Managing Partner Grant Bird has joined behavioural science-focused 'research collective' house51 as a Partner.

Launched last year by former Infotools MD Ian Murray and Conquest Research Director Catherine Heaney, house51 taps into a network of senior consultants who specialise in integrating market research with psychology, behavioural economics and neuroscience approaches, to solve commercial and policy challenges.

Bird (pictured) joins from Omnicom-owned brand and communications agency Hall & Partners, where he ran the London-based consumer business. Prior to that he was Partner at HPI, where he worked closely with the house51 founders. He began his career at Millward Brown.

Commenting on the appointment, Murray said: 'At house51 we are building a senior team of hands-on consultants that blend market research with the latest thinking from behavioural science. I have known Grant for over thirteen years and have always valued his leadership, business savvy and creativity. We are delighted to be working with him again at this exciting stage in our development'.
