Qualitative Research

Differentiators
The Vital Findings Twist
-
Vibrant Visual Deliverables
Through professional photography and videography, we create visual and immersive reports and videos that bring the consumer’s world to life.
-
Ensuring stellar recruits
Our screening process is one of the most stringent in the industry. Analysts personally re-screen each potential participant, and we often use photos (for in-person qual) and video responses (for digital qual) as quality checks.
-
Homework that works harder
We design engaging and thought-provoking homework assignments for respondents that not only prep them for their discussion but also can be mined for additional insights.
-
Seasoned in-house moderation
We have a diverse pool of talented moderators on staff who use conversational and creative discussion and probing to get to the heart of the consumer story and extract emotion and deeper meaning from respondents.
