Surveys
We design, conduct and analyze telephone, in-person and web
surveys of public opinion. Our interviewers use Computer
Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI), and Computer Assisted
Personal Interviewing (CAPI), which allows for real-time quality
control and a fast turnaround. Our research produces actionable
results and specific strategic advice.
Our surveys include a package of research products: a filled-in
questionnaire, a survey analysis and recommendations report,
and a book with complete cross-tabs, with sections on
methodology and the definitions of created variables.
Other Services
Additional services we offer are:
Qualitative Research
We provide comprehensive qualitative research, including focus
groups guidelines and recruitment, moderation, and analysis of
their results and the recommendations derived from them. Our
research design and implementation suit our clients' concrete
audience and needs. Therefore, we may recommend mini-focus
groups, in-depth one-on-one interviews (dyads), tryads or dial
technology. Dial technology is particularly well-suited for
measuring immediate perceptions of and reactions to every bit
of a speech or an advertisement.
A presentation with research results and analysis and audio
recording are included in the price of our focus groups. Full
written transcription, video recording, video conferencing, and
on-line viewing are billed separately.

Lobbying
We help our clients have their voices heard by European
institutions, as they seek to shape policy and educate public
decisionmakers. As we understand it, lobbying is an excellent
source of information for public authorities and legislators.
Furthermore, consultations with groups affected by public
decisions help achieve better cooperation from them once
regulations are finally adopted.
