ABOUT TRA & TRA BUSINESS GROUP

TRA is a leading insights agency – we practice the art of knowing people. With offices in Tāmaki-Makaurau (Auckland), Naarm (Melbourne) and Gadigal Land (Sydney), we work with clients across the Tasman and the world.

TRA blends sciences of human understanding to see things that others don't. Using insights from culture, CX, behaviour change, innovation and brand, we solve complex problems to improve people's lives. 

It's at the intersections, overlaps and margins of these sciences that we uncover deeper, uncommon truths. The new ideas that take us from the everyday to the exceptional. Our unique perspective is what moves us forward, unlocking potential for our clients.

Bringing together the best of both worlds for ambitious and strategic minds, we are a diverse group of thinkers, intent on solving the complex and challenging problems our clients are facing. We combine our understanding of human behaviour with intelligent data capability to navigate uncertainty and answer the big questions. At TRA, we believe there's always a story in the data. Watch this video to see ours.
