CUSTOMIZED RESEARCH SOLUTIONS

Founded in 2010, we're passionate about translating what people do, think, and feel into actionable business insights. To do that, we craft creative consumer research solutions.

RECRUITING THE RIGHT PEOPLE

DSC_0404.jpg

We believe that getting the right mix of people is fundamental to the success of your consumer research question.

 

So, if we get a little anal about recruiting, it’s because we care. You tell us who you’re looking to talk to and we’ll find them and chat them up.

​

Here's what we do to find the GOOD folks for you:

SUPERSTAR COMMUNITY

We've developed an eye for GOOD people. From projects past, we curate people who are engaged, creative and offer an interesting perspective. Residing all over the US, they are in every way representative consumers, who just happen to be super-articulate and expressive. If you want to talk with a pool of potentially passionate consumers, this is your jam.

What's happening in the world may be new to us, but virtual qualitative isn't. For years, we've been honing and mastering creative applications of virtual consumer research techniques.

IN-CONTEXT

Sometimes it makes sense to meet consumers at their gym, on the job site, or in the grocery store and talk about their habits, preferences, behaviors and barriers as the action unfolds in real time.

IN-HOME

We have conversations in consumer homes, peek into their cabinets and report truths based on the realities of
their lives.
