Market Research Review from Darian Harff
We needed an online panel for a large survey study. TGM managed to reach the required sample size in the planned time frame and the project managers were communicative during the process. The pricing was also more than fair.
Data Entry Review from Esmarilda
TGM exceeded my expectations more than once throughout the data collection process. Their response times are on point and their client-centered focus is a trademark of who they are. They made the entire process effortless! Thank you!
Market Research Review from Michał Berezowski
I've been working with TGM for over a year, and in that time, we've successfully completed several B2B projects together. Every project was handled flawlessly, thanks to the professionalism and dedication of the TGM team. The product managers deserve a special mention—they're not only super competent but also friendly and easy to work with. I'm happy to recommend TGM's services, knowing that any collaboration with them means top-notch quality and satisfaction.

Michael has had a hugely beneficial impact on the growth of my personal training business. His kindness to help kickstart my business and take time out of his day to focus on me, speaks volumes of his drive to help other people achieve their goals within business. if you are looking for a business development coach in Norfolk he is the man you need to go to!
Tracy Launchbury's Review Sourced from Google
Michael has been exactly what I needed. He is a proven expert at all the technical elements of business and strategy, but for me it's how he balances this with understanding people. He's taken the time to understand who I am, and what makes me tick or freeze up. This means he can always find a way to tap into something in me that creates momentum for change.I proudly recommend him at any given opportunity.
Chris Hughes's Review Sourced from Google
I have been working with Michael for the last 6 month as an executive coach. Michael not only brings knowledge, strategy and results to our business, but more importantly he brings a personable approach. Our fortnightly catch ups throw up all sorts of conversations and I always leave the call with clarity, and feeling more motivated than when I joined. A true gentleman. To anyone looking for a Mentor or Business Coach, Michael comes with the highest of recommendation.

Hired Lazar at https://makun.se/for my website and am genuinely satisfied.He took the time to understand the business and what I actually needed, rather than just delivering a standard solution. The result was a professional and well-structured site with a clear message and well-thought-out design.The process was smooth, communication was good and he kept to the schedule. Lazar combines technical expertise with an understanding of what makes a website work commercially and it shows in the end result.Highly recommended for entrepreneurs who want a website that actually does the job.My old website simply didn't work, barely usable, it neither represented the business nor converted visitors. Lazar and the team at Makun took over and transformed it into something I'm actually proud to show off. Check out https://talentbylukas.se/ and you'll see how great it all turned out!!!

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.
