Global Focus Group Week
Global Focus Group Week celebrates the multiple roles, services, and insights champions that make qualitative market research possible.
The important insights glean from focus groups and other qualitative research methods are foundational for business impact. To honor the hard work – both seen and unseen – the goal of Global Focus Group Week is to bring to light the stories, insights, and AHA moments that can only derive from focus groups.
With an emphasis on face-to-face research, join us in shining a light on focus group methodology.
I’m thrilled when I receive positive feedback from our clients regarding successful in-person research. If there was ever a time to directly explore how your brand is received by your audience, it is now.

2023’s Schedule of Celebrations
Focus groups shape our world. They influence public policies, business strategies, advertising campaigns, and more. From unveiling consumer behavior insights to driving crucial scientific research breakthroughs, their impact is far-reaching and profound.

The depth of insights that emerge from the spontaneity of unscripted reactions, body language, and tone of voice are just some of the elements that make in-person research so special. It’s a testament to the craft of research and the skills of moderators, researchers, advertising specialists, strategists, trial consultants, and more.

As we continue to gather in-person at industry events, I think about the idea generation that happens just in our casual moments together. A lot of value comes from in-person research, including the collaboration behind the mirror. Watching consumers almost always leads to great ideas.
