Market Research Review from Castlight Health
We’ve worked with InterQ on two research projects. They did phenomenal, thoughtful work on both. On one project, the research uncovered two insights that enabled us to overcome objections to a new product. We look forward to working with InterQ again.

UI/UX Design Review from Audrey Thomas
Highland is a great partner. The sought to deeply understand our product, customers, and pain points and built a number of forward looking opportunities for us in addition to the tight scope of our project. Proactive, thoughtful, responsive, and flexible. We are a small team and found lots of value in working with Highland to get our UX refresh project up and running.
✨ Liz Pisney ✨
Vice President, Member Experience at ISACA
4.8★
UI/UX Design Review from ✨ Liz Pisney ✨
We recently partnered with Highland on research and prototypes for a new information architecture on a volunteer resources site for our Chapter leaders.
Having over 3000 volunteers around the globe can introduce a lot of nuance and complexity to research and design processes. The team at Highland handled it all skillfully - focusing on how to deliver the most clarity and usability to our audience.
10 out of 10, I would recommend working with the Highland team!
Lee Wiensch, CAE, CFRE
Executive Director at Thoracic Surgery Foundation
5.0★
Webflow Review from Lee Wiensch, CAE, CFRE
We had a great experience working with the team at Highland to develop a new website for the Thoracic Surgery Foundation, a charitable organization aimed at advancing heart and lung health for all. Highland worked with us to re-imagine a dated website with limited functionality, and developed a a gorgeous new site that beautifully reflects the vitality of the organization. We anticipate that our award applicants, donors, surgeons and grateful patients will be able to easily navigate the new site and have a much-improved user experience.
Jeff Blanchard and his team were exceptionally good listeners, and worked hard to create solutions for our complicated awards program. They provided good training to our team throughout the process so that we have been able to keep things updated and easily make changes now that the site has launched. I am grateful for their patience and very quick turnaround as we juggled a new strategic plan and new branding, all at the time of the website creation.
I have been continually impressed with the expertise and the innovation that Highland brings to a project like ours. It was a pleasure to launch this site -- on time and on budget -- with their excellent work and support.

Integrated Marketing Review from Rebecca Hummer
When we set out looking for an integrated marketing partner almost ten years ago, we were not sure what to expect. Catalyst dove in to help us with social media and other outreach. Soon, they were deeply integrated into our team providing a wide range of support for both ongoing marketing tasks and more focused campaigns. Their unwavering dedication to our cause, communications insights and expertise have been transformative, consistently empowering our team to achieve results exceeding our internal resources and capabilities. If you're looking for an integrated marketing agency, I can't recommend them enough.

A competent, creative and technically savvy team of people who care about their clients. We were really happy with our experience working with Catalyst. They listened to what we wanted for our business and implemented it seamlessly. From the branding overhaul and clarity, to the design of our site, technical support and design for our digital product, and finally the digital marketing campaign - everything was done professionally and with great care for our vision. Highly recommend.

Branding Review from Michael Nelson, MBA
We've worked with Catalyst for about five years (on too many projects to count) and they are enormously talented. Our project team was built around our unique goals. The collaborative process tends to feel more personal than other agencies I've worked with because of it. Project management is very communicative and on point. Their strategy, creative, and technology teams are also well-staffed and comparable to the best I've ever worked with.

Working with Tom and JAXONLABS has been incredibly valuable. Tom has helped us think more clearly about our brand strategy, how we position the business, and how our story shows up across our marketing.

I managed my company's rebrand project and we used the Usman Group for the website redesign. The group made this part of the project amazingly easy. We spoke upfront about our requirements and needs and they took the reigns and ran with it. They provided helpful suggestions and recommendations and always met our deadlines. It would have been tough not having them on board to take on this part of the rebrand project and would absolutely recommend using them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Market Research Companies
What market research services do B2B agencies usually offer?
They companies typically provide a broad mix of qualitative, quantitative, and strategic research services to aid businesses in making more data-driven decisions.

Market evaluation (45%): Examining a product or brand’s viability in a market segment by analyzing its size, trends, customer behavior, and competitors.
Customer needs assessment (45%): Conducting interviews, surveys, and data analysis to understand how a product or service addresses the customer’s needs.
Customer satisfaction (43%): Measuring how customers feel about a product or service through feedback forms, surveys, and sentiment analysis.
Market trend forecast (42%): Studying historical data (e.g., sales, consumer behavior, economic trends) to predict shifts in customer demand and market direction.
Price sensitivity (37%): Also known as price elasticity demand, it how much target customers are willing to pay for a product or service.
Win-loss analytics (31%): Identifying factors that influence buying decisions through sales data analysis, competitor evaluation, and customer interviews.
What is the difference between a market research company and a marketing research agency?
They study the customers in a specific market, including their needs and behavior. In contrast, marketing research agencies analyze marketing data, such as how to promote and price a product to attract buyers.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of their differences:
Market research company
Marketing research agency
Determines business opportunities in potential markets
Identifies target customers and their market size
Studies the customers’ behaviors, preferences, and needs
Analyzes emerging trends in the target market
Determines brand and product positioning
Evaluates brand perception and health
Identifies marketing channels
Designs marketing and advertising strategies
How much does it cost to hire one of these companies in the US?
The cost of hiring one of the best market research companies in the US can start at $800-$1,500 per respondent. However, prices can reach beyond $4,000-$10,000 per interview session per respondent if the project needs more in-depth, in-person interviews.
The final bill will depend on service scope, coverage, methodology, fieldwork timelines, and target markets.
Here’s an approximate price of the different types of market research:
Online survey: $10,000-$30,000+ for 400 completed answers in a single market
Phone surveys: $15,000-$30,000+ for 400 completed answers in a single market
Mail survey: $10,000-$25,000+ for 400 completed answers in a single market
Simple in-person surveys: $20,000-$50,000+ for 400 completed answers
In-depth interviews: $10,000-$20,000 for 10 respondents
Focus groups: $7,000-$200,000+ per group
International or multi-market studies: $150,000-$500,000+
Are there any additional costs to consider when working with these companies?
While they typically charge per respondent, session, or group; businesses must also account for the following when budgeting for a project:
Respondent incentives, especially for senior decision-makers
Panel access or proprietary databases
Interview length, with longer interview sessions or survey questions requiring more recruitment time or higher incentives
Incidence rate (IR) or the number of people qualified for market research; low IR results in higher costs
International or multi-language sampling, which can range between $150,000 and over $500,000
Advanced analytics or modeling
Extended reporting or executive presentations
These additional costs typically add 20%–35% to the total project budget.
What types of B2B companies usually work with market research companies in the USA?
They tend to work with companies that rely on data-driven decisions for growth, positioning, and investment planning.
