James DonaldCo Founder
New Zealand -
I am the Co-Founder and CEO of Ideally, a research platform purpose-built for creativity and innovation.
I founded Ideally to reinvent how research supports modern marketing. We replace slow, siloed legacy processes with research that gets embedded into everyday creative and commercial decisions across teams who've never had access to insight like this before. Complex data and research approaches become intuitive AI-enabled workflows that anyone can use.
Since launching in 2023, we have partnered with more than 250 leading brands across APAC and the US, including Google, Kraft Heinz, Revlon and more to test ideas, understand their categories, and make faster, more confident decisions.
Before Ideally, I co-founded Yonder, a tourism-focused SaaS company acquired in 2023. Across an international career spanning start-ups and product innovation, I have stayed focused on one clear mission: ensuring the customer’s voice shapes creativity and innovation from the very beginning.
