      Product Marketing Review from Andrew Kuhns

      We needed packaging design experts who could provide primary display panel concepts that would work for over 2K skus. They took are most common and a few unique PDP layouts and developed a design system that aligned with our brand standards with a modern approach. We are now implementing their design across all of our products. Great partners!

      Video Production Review from Ayelet Halamish

      This is where their expertise really shined. They knew how to guide interviews to get authentic, compelling sound bites not stiff, scripted responses. The final edits felt personal, credible, and persuasive. Beyond the creative execution, the entire process was seamless. The team was strategic, detail-oriented, and fast, delivering content that exceeded expectations while staying on schedule. If you're looking for a video partner that thinks like a marketer and produces like a top-tier creative agency, Nomadigo is the team you want on your side.

      When I launched my luxury brand, I needed more than just a production company; I needed a creative partner who could translate elegance and form into pure visual poetry. Nomadigo delivered beyond expectation. From the sheen of silk, satin and velour every shot was a perfect shot. They understood that my designs weren’t just meant to be seen—they were meant to be felt. Beyond the visuals, their direction was impeccable. They didn’t just film; they sculpted each moment—guiding the models with precision to ensure that every movement, every pose, amplified the grace and structure of each piece. The result? A campaign that radiates the essence of luxury, where every frame tells a story of confidence, powerful women, and timeless beauty. For a brand that lives and breathes aesthetics and luxury, Nomadigo isn’t just a production team—they are artists in their own right. If you need to showcase luxury in its purest form, this is the only team to trust.

      Next-Level Adventure Filmmaking—Nomadigo Delivers In the world of extreme adventure, capturing the thrill, speed, and raw adrenaline of off-road tours isn’t easy. Most production crews would struggle to keep up—Nomadigo thrived. I’ve never seen a team so dialed into the technical and physical demands of high-speed adventure filmmaking. They rigged motorcycles and chase vehicles to capture jaw-dropping footage from angles I didn’t even think were possible. Watching them strap cameras to cars flying across rugged terrain, I kept thinking, there’s no way that gear survives this—but it did. That’s what professionals do. The final edits? Insane. Slow-motion dust clouds, water spraying up through the air, perfectly-timed speed ramps, and a music score that gets your heart racing before you even step into a vehicle. It was exactly what we wanted—even before we knew it was possible. If you want extreme adventure captured with precision, Nomadigo is the only team I’d trust.

      I've worked with Les and Jacob Tyler since early 2022. Together, we spent more than a year working on the strategic development of our website; they approached our project with patience, understanding, flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. The entire Jacob Tyler team has been, and continues to be, an excellent creative partner, trusted advisor, and extension of Dempsey's marketing team. I cannot recommend working with them enough.

      We recently worked with Jacob Tyler Agency on a direct mail campaign, and the experience exceeded every expectation. Their personalized approach, attention to detail, and commitment to understanding our brand’s voice and mission truly set them apart from other creative agencies. The design work was stunning, modern, and perfectly aligned with our holistic health aesthetic. Their team took the time to learn our goals, audience, and messaging, and delivered a mailer that was not only visually beautiful but strategically effective. We’ve already noticed increased engagement and positive feedback from our community. What really stood out was their collaborative process, fast communication, and ability to translate complex ideas into clean, compelling creative. From concept development to print-ready execution, everything felt seamless, professional, and high-quality. If you’re looking for a top-tier branding agency, creative design studio, or marketing partner that delivers high-impact design, strong strategy, and exceptional service, Jacob Tyler is the team you want. Highly recommend for any business seeking elevated brand identity, graphic design, or marketing support.

      Working with Realise Design has been such a great experience. As someone who is in charge of creating content for our brand, Radius Windshields - Realise (Pippa & Charles particularly) helped me massively by sending me any updates, drawings and photos for me to use. A whole day was organised so I could stage photos and film of the design process... which was SO incredibly helpful for building on our brand. I couldn't recommend them enough! From the designs to branding, they followed through with making sure all our needs were met!

      Sophia Livolsi's Review Sourced from Google

      I do marketing for a company that has not one, not two, but three websites created & updated by Incend Media. We add to and change websites probably more often than most, but the team at Incend is quick to update our websites: usually within just one business day! They are also great about asking for clarification on our vision, and giving us some of their own insight, tips, and tricks to make our websites the best that they can be, while still reflecting our business personality. In addition, they are extremely helpful in our SEO marketing efforts, and have improved this aspect of our business quite a lot. I absolutely recommend!

      Incend Media came highly recommended from our clients in the Dallas Texas area. We engaged them on our most recent website redesign and online marketing efforts. We have been extremely pleased with the quality of work. They make the process feel seamless and stress-free from start to finish. We recommend Incend Media for any design or marketing needs.

      We have used Incend Media for a recent project for a client. They were easy to work with, very orderly in the process, and were on time and budget with respect to the over completion. Will use them again.

6 FAQs About Market Research Companies

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: 

  1. 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. 
  2. 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. 
  3. 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: 

  • What decision will this study enable? 
  • What would a surprising finding look like? 
  • What would it mean for us if we got that result? 
  • Do you use AI tools for discovery? 

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.
