From the solutions presented, select the option that works best for your needs. By selecting one of the automated solutions, specifically our Concept, Pack, Brand Health, or Comms pre or post-test, you will be presented with a wizard from which you can build and customize your survey.

Each solution has a core set of metrics from which to choose, which were developed using expert research methodology. Our automated solutions have built-in special features like text highlighter and heatmap tools, and a high-value real-time infoboard as the final deliverable. The infoboard highlights KPIs based on the core metrics and offers a great visual display for sharing with key stakeholders.

We also offer solutions for Live Discussions used to run qualitative engagements, and Branded Communities which will allow you to create your very own panel of members.
