Clients turn to us for research that informs decisions related to strategy, planning, marketing and communications.

Research For Decision Making
We design studies around what our clients need to understand in order to move forward.From product research with customers to assessments involving multiple audience groups, each project is built around specific research questions tied to a clear business need.
Focus Groups and One-on-One Interviews
Moderated discussions — whether in focus groups or individual interviews — offer rich insight into how people think, feel and engage with your organization, product or message.
We develop discussion guides and screening criteria in collaboration with you, ensuring each session is aligned with your goals.
Our experienced moderators create space for open conversation and report on findings that highlight what your audience values, what’s holding them back — and what it might take to shift their perspective.
Concept, Marketing and Message Testing
Before launching a product, campaign or key message, it’s important to know how it will be received.
Concept TestingIn early development or refinement stages, we’ll help you test concepts with target audiences to understand what they like, what raises questions, and what could increase your concept’s appeal.
Marketing and Message TestingIf your messaging isn’t quite landing, we’ll help you figure out why. We design studies to help identify areas of confusion, unintended interpretations or disconnects, so you can make improvements before a broader launch.
Baseline Assessments and Communications Audits
Baseline research helps surface how your audiences experience your organization today — its strengths, challenges, and opportunities for growth.
Whether you’re hearing from customers, employees, funders, partners or members, we'll help you identify patterns, clarify perceptions that inform your next steps.
Your communications should be clear, consistent and aligned with your mission — but are they landing the way you intend? We’ll review how your messages are being received across channels and audiences. By identifying gaps, inconsistencies or confusion, we'll help you improve communication effectiveness and ensure your messages resonate with the people you’re trying to reach.

This understanding adds context for strategy, planning and communications, helping organizations anticipate concerns and respond in ways that reflect how their audiences experience their work.
Leading Market Research Firms
Hartford, CT
As a market research firm with a qualitative focus, we help clients develop a deeper understanding of how their customers and consumers think, feel and experience their products, services or communications, so they can make decisions informed by real-world perspectives.
While market research often includes quantitative data and broader measurement, conversations with customers and consumers can surface priorities and concerns that don’t always appear in the numbers alone. In some cases, hearing from additional audiences, such as community members, partners, employees or others affected by an organization’s work, adds important context.
We create space for people to share their views openly, whether in group discussions or one-on-one conversations. Listening closely brings forward motivations, barriers and underlying beliefs that add meaning to what data can show.
Together, these perspectives inform decisions about strategy, planning and communications, reflecting how your important audiences experience your organization’s work.
