Truly understand your customers and market

“Chris and the Starlight team did a great job of finding out our pain points, asked the right questions around what to solve, and did a deep dive to find out more about our customer. In turn, the insights were data-driven-yet-human at the same time, and their suggested actions were specific and actionable, and contributed to a more intentional strategy. They are thorough, thoughtful and direct.”
