Kevin Root – Founder
The last thing the world needs is another consumer market research company. There are plenty of good ones. Because we understand industries at the nuanced level, your results are more actionable.
Retailers, digital marketing providers, consumer facing shopping and research websites, agencies, manufacturers, investment companies, and entrepreneurs.
Our automotive consumer research company loves to work with existing research teams. Your team is probably slammed with enough projects to last till well into next year. We can augment their efforts on big projects or enable them to stay focused on those while we take on the newer project with the hot deadline.
