SCOTT PERCIVAL
Managing Director, Lore Consulting
Scott founded Lore as place where a serious amount of thought can be given to finding the right answer. For 15 years he’s been a hands-on researcher, specialising in strategic ad-hoc studies addressing a host of marketing challenges – with a strong focus on brand and communications.
Originally from Scotland, Scott started his career in London. In 2013, Scott made the switch to Asia, running studies spanning the APAC region with Hall & Partners Singapore.
His category experience is diverse, having worked for leading blue-chip brands in sectors including travel, telecoms, retail, luxury goods, technology, FMCG, sports, gaming, hospitality, and healthcare. In addition to work in the NGO and government space.
With an academic background in Product Design, Scott blends a human-centred yet commercially-minded approach to research: inherently curious, consultative and entirely focused on cracking the problem at hand
