Trusted by over 60 organisations

In practice

Trust through results

Matthias Schupp, CEO, Medartis

«BrainE4 is the direct line to your employees. With conventional tools, you get numbers and bar charts, but little concrete feedback. Here, the executive board received a perfect thermometer for the entire organization. »

Michael Brunner, Head of Communications, FDP Zug

«I've never experienced anything this cool in this form before. BrainE4 plays in a completely different league than classic surveys. Instead of spending 100 hours at the regulars' table, we get the essence of what truly moves voters – efficient, prioritized, and as clear actionable recommendations for our candidates.»

Philipp Senn, Head of Communications and Public Affairs, NAGRA

«Verbatim passages from employee inputs are now part of our new mission statement – a strong signal to the workforce. With 80% participation, BrainE4 exceeded our expectations. Instead of hierarchical directives, a genuine dialogue about our identity emerged, effectively supporting our transformation from research to realization.»

Claudia Kilcherr, Director Business Services, SOCAR, & Tanja Hegglin, Head of HR CH & AT, SOCAR

«The online dialogue provided us with a much more nuanced sentiment analysis than classic surveys – spanning across both administration and our gas station network. Particularly valuable: Employees formulated their concerns freely and evaluated each other. This gave management a clear, trustworthy basis for improvements.»

Cornelia Trachsler, EXPERTsuisse AG

«I didn't know such a form of analysis even existed: BrainE4 allowed us to ask open-ended questions yet receive structured, reliable data. The clarity of the results surprised us – we were able to directly derive over 20 concrete action recommendations for our future publication strategy.»

Daniel Gruber, Party President of the FDP Zug

«Everyone knows you don't get such well-founded insights for free: The other parties were impressed. We are now entering the election campaign with a prioritized ranking of topics that goes far beyond the usual political bubble. This has strengthened us and gives our candidates arguments that the competition doesn't know yet.»

Renato Mathys, Head of Fire Service Department,
GVZ Building Insurance Canton of Zurich

«Instead of the loudest voice deciding, we found consensus solutions across all hierarchy levels. What we develop in the office isn't always what is needed on the front line: Thanks to BrainE4, we now know exactly which investments are truly meaningful and economic.»

André Guyer, Mayor, Aesch (Zurich)

«BrainE4 works like a digital town hall meeting. Instead of reaching only the usual 10 percent at the assembly, we mobilized a broad segment of the population early on. The result is more robust, reliable data for our planning – and we also give a voice to those who otherwise wouldn't speak up loudly.»

Sebastian Clausen, Traffic Planner, City of Bern

«Physical participation alone is no longer enough today. With BrainE4, we reached a much broader demographic in the Wyler district than with classic neighborhood walks. The ranking of ideas provided us with first-class validation for our traffic planning – playful, digital, and directly from the residents.»

Peter Ammann, Municipal Councillor, Besenbüren (AG)

«We were able to defuse controversies. Whether it's school space or waste disposal – when emotions run high, BrainE4 offers the ideal channel. Instead of direct criticism at the political apéro, every opinion receives fair space here. This creates broadly supported concepts that are truly capable of finding a majority.»

Nadja Sutter, Editor-in-Chief, “Schweizer Gemeinde”

«Our expectations were far exceeded. With over 14,000 validations, we received an extremely solid data basis. Thanks to BrainE4, we now know that topics like 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'Citizen Participation' are prioritized much higher than assumed – and have directly adjusted our magazine planning for 2026.»

Edgar Bachmann, CEO, SOCAR Switzerland

«If you want change, you have to live it – not wait for the industry to move.” I listen closely to my environment, spot new energy trends early and lead by example as CEO – even when investments are still uncertain and provoke resistance.»

Mario Räber, Mayor, Besenbüren (AG)

«At information events, you often only hear the loud voices. With BrainE4, we reach the silent majority and get a broadly supported picture. As a small municipality, we have to work efficiently: The online dialogue helps us find pragmatic solutions that are truly supported by the population – without bypassing the democratic process.»

Fabio Pacozzi, Head of Communications,
Swiss Association of Municipalities

«It's not a normal survey, but almost like a game. We had over 500 participants – far more than expected. Thanks to BrainE4, we now know exactly where we were 'flying blind': Our members want simpler language and more digital formats. »

Thomas Geier, CFO, Aveniq, Zurich

«For us, BrainE4 is significantly more efficient than a classic survey and at the same time incredibly simple and intuitive: We collect ideas, have them evaluated in parallel, and end up with an actionable priority list instead of raw data.»

Marianne Noser, Editor-in-chief, Zeitlupe Zurich

«With BrainE4, we were able to involve our readers and get a clear, representative picture of what they want; I recommend BrainE4 to any publisher that truly wants to understand its audience.»

Dr. Christopher Müller, Co-President
Nördlich Lägern Regional Conference

«With BrainE4, we were able for the first time to involve thousands of residents across 48 municipalities in the Nördlich Lägern region broadly, anonymously, and interactively – beyond the loudest voices.»

Prof. Markus Prandini, Kaleidos FH, Zurich

«Using BrainE4 gave us valuable, innovative insights into our business – and allowed us to sustainably enhance the learning experience of Kalaidos students.»

Peter Metzinger, Campaigner (“Mr. Campaigning”)

«For me, campaigning without listening is unthinkable – real change starts with dialogue.” I listen deeply and for a long time before I start talking: only when I truly understand what drives people can I design campaigns that make even tough change possible.»

Martina Koch, Head of Corporate & Real Estate Banking Basel, UBS

«For me, good leadership means listening, staying curious and taking people along step by step through change.” I ask questions, create space for open team discussions and give continuous feedback – this is how we define goals together, build courage for new paths and foster a culture where change is seen as an opportunity.»

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martina Hofmann, Managing Director,
Climate Protection and Energy Agency of Baden-Württemberg (KEA-BW)

«Real transformation starts in our minds – and with an honest look at what no longer works.” I constantly question myself and the system, stay mentally flexible and hold on to my vision, even when inertia and resistance are strong.»

Matthias Schupp, CEO, Medartis

Seeing what others miss

Four dimensions of strategic clarity

Hundreds to thousands discuss your most important questions — anonymously, moderated, peer-to-peer.
You receive prioritised results with reasons in a matter of days.

1. Discover Potential

In anonymous dialogue, everyone brings ideas — the most compelling rise to the top, not the loudest. Opportunities become visible before anyone else sees them.

2. Clarify What Matters

Arguments compete peer-to-peer. What rises to the top has genuine backing — beyond hierarchy and groupthink.

3. Spot the Critical

Anonymity creates psychological safety. Hidden risks and blind spots surface while they are still manageable.

4. Understand Support

You learn not just what stakeholders think, but why. We deliver the reasons alongside the priorities — decision-ready.

Methodology & Technology

How BrainE4 makes soft factors measurable

Not a tool. Moderated. Fully managed. Solid results with reasons — in days, not months.

1. Dialogue, Not a Questionnaire

End discussions based on anecdotes. Structured peer dialogue produces facts that hold up in any leadership meeting.

2. All Stakeholders — One Process

Employees, customers, or citizens: compare segments at a glance. See immediately where action is needed.

3. Live Insights Because Dialogue Runs in Real Time

No months-long analyses. Recognise trends while the conversation is still happening.

4. Early Warning Through Continuous Listening

Not once a year — continuously. Decide proactively before small signals become large crises.
