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.What I’ve appreciated most is that his work combines strategy, coaching, and practical execution. He has helped our team think more clearly, challenge assumptions, and make better decisions across messaging, content, campaigns, website direction, customer experience, and long-term growth planning.

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.
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!
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.

Webosition brought Avour to life from the ground up and delivered far more than a website. They helped create the business itself — from LLC formation and business registration to brand strategy, logo design, messaging, website development, digital storytelling, and our entire digital footprint — the whole nine yards.What impressed me most was their ability to combine business strategy with creativity. Every element felt intentional and aligned, creating a brand presence that looked sophisticated, credible, and market-ready from day one.Their process was collaborative, professional, and deeply strategic. They understood the vision, refined it, and translated it into both a real business and a powerful digital presence that truly represented the brand.If you’re looking for a team that can help create, position, and launch a business the right way, I highly recommend Webosition.
IURII DIVONCHUK's Review Sourced from Google
I run a photography company in Chicago, and working with Webosition was genuinely eye-opening. They didn't just review my site - they helped me understand where I was invisible online and why. The audit surfaced real gaps I hadn't noticed: missing schema markup, weak local SEO signals, and positioning that wasn't speaking to the right clients. Since addressing those areas, my authority in search has noticeably strengthened and I'm attracting better-fit leads. What sets them apart is that they think like business owners, not just marketers. If you're a service business looking to stop being the best-kept secret in your market, these are the people to call!

Rain Pamintuan's Review Sourced from Google
Exceptional Service and Quality Under a Tight Deadline!We reached out to We Print Boxes for a complex custom packaging project for our brand, Sleevestars. Our order involved 600 custom boxes across 5 different product sizes and multiple color variants, with premium finishes including 7-color printing, Gold Foil Stamping, Spot UV, and Window with PVC sheet.From the very beginning, Nelson and James were communicative, patient, and thorough. They walked us through every detail — from explaining setup costs and color processes to flagging important design considerations like font readability on Neon Green designs and flap sizing adjustments for a perfect close. When an unexpected pricing issue arose due to the complexity of our designs, James went above and beyond to find a fair solution that worked within our budget, even offering additional boxes as a goodwill gesture.Despite our very tight and challenging deadline, the entire team gave their best effort to deliver on time. Their professionalism in handling our many revisions, design feedback rounds, and back-and-forth communications was truly impressive.We Print Boxes is not just a vendor — they felt like a genuine packaging partner invested in the success of our brand. We will absolutely be coming back for future projects. Highly recommended for anyone looking for premium custom packaging with a team that truly cares!

You're ready to hire a market research firm when the cost of a wrong decision exceeds the cost of the research itself and when the question you need answered can't be resolved with internal data alone.
That threshold looks different by situation, but here's how to read the signals:
You're ready if:
You're NOT ready if:
Eliminate on three criteria before you spend a single call: methodology fit, sector fluency, and sample access.
What NOT to consider as a criterion: Agency size, award lists, and website aesthetics are not shortlisting criteria.
A standard market research project runs 6 to 8 weeks, on average. Here's how the timeline is usually sequenced:
Start with a pilot if you've never worked with this firm before and the full engagement exceeds $50,000.
A pilot project, typically a smaller, bounded study or a single research wave, serves three functions:
When to skip the pilot and commit upfront:
One important clarification: A pilot is not a free consultation. Budget it as a real, paid engagement with a clear deliverable.
Switch when the data quality is compromised, stay when the issue is communication or process friction, which are fixable problems.
Switch immediately if:
Give them more time if:
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding market research companies. We owe this to our executive selection team, which follows a strict screening process when featuring agencies on the platform, assessing key performance indicators, like portfolio, client reviews, and industry reputation.
Learn more about DesignRush Agency Ranking Methodology.
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
The most disqualifying red flag is a market research firm that proposes a methodology before diagnosing your problem. This is a common indication that the firm is reverse-engineering your question to fit their existing fieldwork infrastructure, rather than designing a study to answer what you actually need to know.
You should also consider the panel opacity; namely, any market research company that can't specify whether they're using a river sample, a proprietary panel, or a blended approach, and what their median panel tenure and re-contact intervals look like, might be concealing a data quality problem.
Other red flags to watch out for are:
A custom market research project from a professional firm can cost from $25,000 to $65,000, with specialist market research commanding the higher end of that range.
In terms of variables, there are five factors that affect final pricing:
The costs most clients don't see coming are fieldwork overruns, unbundled data processing fees, and multi-market add-ons. Here are a few more details about each cost:
The safest way to obtain an accurate proposal is to ask the agency for a full cost-at-risk breakdown, i.e., a list of every line item that could increase based on fieldwork conditions or scope changes.
The right market research agency is the one that's honest about what your budget can and can't buy.
The real risk is underspending just enough to get a study that looks credible but can't answer your actual question:
A credible market research company will tell you upfront if your budget constrains the methodology.
Bad engagements follow the same pattern almost every time: a vague brief, a proposal that doesn't challenge it, and a final deliverable that presents data without telling you what to do with it. Underdelivered outcome looks different depending on what you hired them for:
In practice, these aren't unusual outcomes. More so, they tend to happen when a market research company takes a brief at face value instead of pressure-testing whether the methodology actually answers the main question.
Before you proceed with collaboration, ask the agency three things:
Hiring a market research firm only makes sense when you have a genuine information gap: a decision that's significant, hard to reverse, and cannot be answered with data you already have. Outside of that, you're paying for research you don't need.
Skip the service if your timeline is too short. A properly designed study with a screener, fieldwork, data cleaning, and analysis takes weeks. Rushing that process cuts quality controls, and data with hidden flaws will ultimately give you false confidence. That's worse than no data at all. If you need an answer within two weeks, you're better off with:
Skip the service if the answer already exists. If your transaction data already shows how different customer segments respond to price changes, commissioning a new pricing study is a redundant spend.
