I'm Consumer Insights Manager LatAm at Groupe Lactalis, and purchased a couple of reports from Mordor in the last six months, and I was positively surprised by the variety of reports available, the flexibility the tem have with prices/timings, and most of all, the support they give you all along. We needed some customization after the report was delivered and Mordor gave us excellent support to get what we needed. Special mention to Varun Ghadge for his help!

Branding Review from Michelle Callanan
Axel Dench and Ryppl Branding has been instrumental in delivering our Global Brand Refresh recently. The thorough strategic direction was informed by Axel's research which showcased a deep understanding of us and our customers. This was no small feat due to our size and complex structure, and was down to Axel working extremely hard to understand the nuances of our business. The new brand architecture and structure has future-proofed us for our changing market. We are so proud of our refreshed brand identity, it works for our varied and global audiences which we couldn't have achieved without the strategic leadership from Ryppl.

Brand Strategy Review from Jeremy Newstead
Axel and the Ryppl team undertook a deep dive of our brand and internal values to create a new strategic and visual identity. From creating our brand images, logo, and brand voice, we have a new punchy look which we are proud of and can connect to. The journey was a collaborative one, but Axel and the team provided expert advice throughout to keep us on track and land in the right space. We are thrilled with where we have landed and the brand we have now created.

Brand Strategy Review from George Shuttlewood
At Back-Roads, we had a fairly unique challenge; we’d grown significantly, had incredible customer feedback scores, our awareness and key brand metrics were on the up and we had no shortage of impactful messaging to communicate. But... we lacked a unifying idea and proposition from which to drive the next phase of our growth. And that’s where Axel and Ryppl branding came in. Working collaboratively with the marketing team, our Exec team and other key stakeholders, Axel quickly got to grips with the category and our brand, then expertly guided us through a thorough a brand proposition process, to unearth and articulate our core essence and created a brand framework to build our brand around. The end result? A clear and inspiring brand proposition and framework that’s now been fully embedded across our business and is fully aligned with our key customer demographic; future-proofing our brand and giving us standout amongst our competitors. We could not be more pleased with the end result.

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.

Haris Tanveer Manager at Industrial Distributor
5.0★
Market Research Review from Haris Tanveer
I work for a 15 person industrial distributor and I was concerned we might be to small for Chasm. Turns out we are their perfect client! They do have minimums and if you're a company under 5 employees, they will likely not be a good fit, however I was pleasantly surprised when they were able to help our team! We've loved the experience! Yeah! I suggest Chasm to any mid sized company who needs help with product marketing consultancy.

Bryan Hayes's Review Sourced from Google
I would never recommend to use this company for advertising. They claim to be experts but they got my google ads account banned almost immediately after running ads for me. It took them 3 months to resolve the none existent issue. I had to pay there advising fee for every month that the account was banned, and when they finally managed to get it running again, they ran the worst returning campaign in my companies history. Don't waste you time or money with these people.

What are the red flags when evaluating market research companies?
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:
Case studies with no stated confidence intervals or margin of error.
A research director who goes silent after kickoff and hands you to a junior analyst.
Proposals that treat sample size as a fixed number rather than a function of your required subgroup precision.
If the agency doesn't ask how granular your cross-tabulations need to be before they quote an n-size.
How much does it cost to hire a market research company?
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:
Methodology: Qualitative research (focus groups, in-depth interviews) costs more than quantitative (surveys) because it involves harder-to-reach participants and higher incentives per respondent.
Sample size: More respondents means higher fieldwork and incentive costs, wherein the minimum viable sample varies significantly by methodology.
Incidence rate: This is the percentage of the general population who qualify for your study. Low incidence multiplies sample costs because the firm has to screen far more people to fill each completed interview slot.
Survey length: More questions mean longer field periods, more respondent drop-off, and more data to clean, code, and tabulate.
Quality and credibility of analysis: Basic cross-tabulation is fairly cheap, whereas advanced analytics entail higher fees.
What do market research agencies charge that most clients don't expect?
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:
Fieldwork overruns: When your target audience is harder to find than the agency assumed, you pay more per respondent to hit your sample size. For example, a study targeting general consumers might screen 1 in 3 people. A study targeting, say, finance decision-makers at mid-market companies who've evaluated a new vendor recently might screen 1 in 12 people; that gap multiplies your fieldwork cost fast.
Data processing fees: Cleaning and organizing your data after fieldwork closes isn't included by default, and each step gets billed separately. The service entails making the sample representative of your target population, categorizing written responses by hand, and merging qualitative and quantitative findings into one coherent output.
Multi-market add-ons: If your study runs across multiple countries, everything it takes to make the research work locally (translating the survey, verifying the translation is culturally accurate, and confirming findings hold up in each market) is almost never included in the base quote.
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.
How do I know if I'm hiring the right market research firm for my budget?
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:
Pricing research with a sample too small to break down results by customer segment
Segmentation work that identifies clusters in the data, but can't tell you how to reach or sell to any of them
Concept testing run on a general audience that doesn't resemble your actual buyer
A credible market research company will tell you upfront if your budget constrains the methodology.
What does a bad engagement with a market research agency look like, and how do I avoid it?
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:
Segmentation studies. The research identifies customer groups statistically, but those groups don't map to any audience you can actually reach or any go-to-market move you can actually make.
Concept testing. The study tells you which concept scored highest, but doesn't inform why the others scored lower, or what's driving the preference, rendering you unable to improve anything or make a confident call.
Pricing research. The agency asks respondents directly what they'd pay. Respondents don't answer that question honestly. The result looks like data but reflects no real purchase behavior.
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:
When does it make sense NOT to hire a market research company?
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:
8-12 in-depth interviews with target customers
Your own CRM or behavioral analytics
Existing syndicated reports from sources like Forrester, IDC, or Euromonitor
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.
