  • Speaking

    Bernard Salt and Simon Keustenmacher are experienced presenters who draw on vast datasets to show how the consumer market, the workforce, specific cohorts eg ‘the frail elderly’ and Australian society more generally are changing. 

    In 2024 we introduce new speaker Hari Hara Priya Kannan data scientist with her unique ‘take’ on Australian demographic trends.

  • Media

    Bernard and Simon communicate their demographic insights to and through the Australian print and electronic media.  Their commentary generally relates to social, generational, demographic and cultural trends. 

    Hari Hara Priya Kannan is also available for media commentary and especially on matters relating to her regular column in The Australian “Real Commercial” supplement.

  • Advisory

    We accept advisory work on projects that often have a public impact, that generally deal with the future, that can involve some form of wider communication and that make an ethical and positive contribution to Australian society.

    Follow the link to make an advisory enquiry. We usually start with a chat which may or may not lead to a proposal. Sarah Read manages all advisory projects and contracts on behalf of the team.

  • Data-driven journalism

    Bernard Salt, Simon Kuestenmacher and Hari Hara Priya Kannan will happily consider inviations to research and to write bespoke thought pieces for annual reports, for client briefings, for project submissions.
