Full Story
Audience Strategies produces in-depth policy research reports for industry organisations, most notably the annual 'State of Electronic Music' report documenting the UK's £2.4 billion electronic music sector for policymakers and the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA).
The challenge was scale and time. Each report required processing dozens of lengthy interview transcripts, synthesising findings, and producing polished written analysis—a process that previously consumed three months of intensive work. Per-interview preparation and analysis alone took two hours each.
The team adopted Claude Enterprise for its extended context window, which allowed entire interview transcripts to be processed without artificial chunking or information loss. Claude Projects enabled team collaboration with linked knowledge files, maintaining consistency across the research workflow.
The results transformed the practice: report production dropped from 3 months to 4 weeks, per-interview analysis time fell from 2 hours to 25 minutes, and topic coverage expanded by 30% compared to previous reports. The writing phase alone compressed from 4 weeks to several days.
