Primary research: surveys

Surveys can be a powerful component of thought leadership. Their findings give you a foundation for insightful editorial and evidence that supports your messaging.

The benefits of surveys

Surveys are:

• Ideal for producing a large dataset of robust insights
• Great for measuring attitudes, opinions and behaviours
• Effective for delivering press-friendly headline stats for powerful PR and audience hooks
• Critical for supplying data for benchmarking and indexing studies.

What we do

During our end-to-end survey research process, we:

• Set the hypotheses that generate the insights to support your marketing and communications objectives
• Select appropriate methodologies, samples, quotas and demographics
• Survey design and questionnaires that will yield insightful and provocative findings
• Manage the fieldwork process and ensure robust data quality to give you complete confidence in the outputs
• Use our data analysis expertise to consistently deliver strong results and findings
• Present the findings and explain their implications.

“Applying primary research to our thought leadership gave us unique perspectives and first-hand insights from within the industry. As a result, we gained a more detailed understanding of the specific challenges and concerns our clients and future partners are faced with, which helped us to identify and articulate a clear and differentiated point of view.”
