Growth Manager at DreamX

Lead Generation Review from Yana Okushko
Partnering with DMT Business Development turned out to be a real game-changer for us. Their team didnt just deliver leads they brought in the right conversations that actually converted. Within a short time, they secured 25 qualified meetings that had a direct impact on our pipeline and revenue. What stood out most was their professionalism - clear communication, full ownership of the process, and the feeling that they were part of our internal team rather than an external vendor. Their proactive mindset and attention to detail made every stage of the collaboration smooth and effective.

Kanerika Inc Reviews & Testimonials
David Abelyan
Founder at Cake Mortgage Corp
5.0★
Big Data Analytics Review from David Abelyan
The Kanerika team helped us create online meeting capabilities to meet with candidates online, view video profiles and message. All these online features are great for our application but what makes our solution unique is that all these are tied to the candidate profile, hiring position organizational needs and overall organizational profile. This creates a strong bond and trust between the organization and the candidate.
We wanted a platform to build long term relationships between organizations and their immediate and future needs and candidates who may want to explore opportunities now or build a relationship for a future opportunity. Kanerika worked with our team to understand our changing requirements and delivered technical solutions incrementally using an agile approach. Organizations can store and update their profiles, job requirements and track each hiring process.
Their philosophy of investing in clients and view of client success as their own was unique. Everyone uses the long term relationship as a tagline but Kanerika actually lived up to it.
Promod Sharma
President at Criterion Systems
5.0★
Big Data Analytics Review from Promod Sharma
Kanerika is creative and technically sound. They found the flaws in our data and fixed it. That means they are super proactive. In the end the product is great which is what we want to be the base of everything we do. Our main goal is adoption. So we measure success by seeing if our marketing and brokerage teams are using the product. At least 50% of our users should be using the dashboard, that means the product is valuable for them and we are already at 75%. In other words we have already hit our adoption goal.
Apart from that we have received verbatim feedback around user satisfaction for the dashboard and its features. We have 74 offices globally and most of them have given us interesting feedback. One of them even called it a game-changer.
Also the level of attention Kanerika provides is awesome. Their team does their homework. They dig deep and inspect everything about the product to make sure it will last.
Sanmeet Walia
Founder at DataVinci Analytics Agency
5.0★
Big Data Analytics Review from Sanmeet Walia
Kanerika Inc was required to build a tool for optimal testing and control analysis. After our team developed the Greedy Match algorithm, they used the running piece of code from the backend servers to design and scale the UI. We were able to use the tool immediately after its completion without experiencing any issues. In addition to internal use, we recently promoted the tool in a sales pitch to one of our clients.
They complemented our team perfectly. Both parties were required for the first half of the project, so they came to our office to help us build the foundation. During the second half of the engagement, they used screen sharing technology to share their progress. The team at Kanerika Inc was patient, and they listened to all of our needs. We would occasionally make last-minute requests at odd hours, but they were always available to help us resolve the issue quickly.

Brand Strategy Review from Tara Munro
I had the pleasure of working with Positive Brand while I was the Marketing Manager at American Locker, and I can't recommend them highly enough. They were an incredible partner throughout a major brand transformation. Together, we developed a new brand identity that included a new logo, brand video, photography, standardized product lines, an internal marketing campaign, a completely redesigned website, and trade show materials that elevated our presence in the market. What impressed me most was their ability to understand our business, ask the right questions, and translate our vision into a cohesive brand that felt authentic and strategic. They were collaborative, creative, responsive, and truly invested in our success every step of the way. If you're looking for an agency that combines thoughtful strategy with exceptional creative execution, Positive Brand is an outstanding choice. I'm grateful for the partnership and the lasting impact they had on our brand.

Marketing Strategy Review from Michael Gorriarán
Doug has the unique ability to think strategically across a broad spectrum of business disciplines and then translate that thinking into decisions grounded in real market dynamics and partner ecosystem. He consistently applies this range of skills to effectively accelerate growth in meaningful, measurable, tangible ways.
Doug is invaluable as a leader, bringing together brand strategy, digital programs, account-based marketing, in-person events, and partner co-marketing into a cohesive engine that drives momentum. His work made a defining impact on the awareness and differentiation of Arjuna Solutions AI/ML services well before the broader rise of generative AI, positioning the company for material growth ahead of the current AI curve. The marketing programs Doug developed enable Arjuna Solutions to "punch above its weight" in the market cultivating essential leads and business relationships/partnerships.
Doug operates with precision, discernment, and attention to detail, while still executing at scale to move the business forward. Beyond marketing, he also proved himself an invaluable multifunctional business leader, influencing overall strategy and operations, and elevating the company's direction as a whole.

Thomas Whalen's Review Sourced from Google
I had high hopes for Savy Marketing Agency, but unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing. From the outset, it was clear their team was completely out of sync internally. This disorganization severely impacted their ability to effectively handle what should have been a straightforward project—a basic website refresh.
The process was riddled with constant delays, lack of communication, and repeated missteps. To make matters worse, it felt like they were continually upselling us on unnecessary additions to increase the scope of work. When we vetted these suggestions against other providers, not only were they deemed unnecessary, but some of them could have actively harmed our existing SEO.
Their lack of attention to detail led to basic, avoidable mistakes, and their pricing was far from competitive. As a local business, we wanted to support a nearby agency, but the service we received was nowhere near worth the premium price tag.
Overall, this was a frustrating and costly experience that we would not recommend to anyone looking for a reliable marketing partner.
In summary out a lot of money and opportunity cost given nothing was accomplished

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.
