At Glue, we believe that great creative always begins with market research. And market research is all about talking to your stakeholders. It’s the first step we take to develop a deep understanding of your audience, the competition, and the general marketplace. We know what questions will reveal the key insights that will fuel our creative exploration. Then, we leverage these insights to help you develop your brand strategy or help you solve a specific problem. Whether qualitative, quantitative or a combination of the two, Glue has the experience, understanding, and resources to advise and implement virtually any kind of research that may be required.

Our qualitative research typically involves asking key stakeholders about your product or service and their first-hand experiences with your brand. Data collection methods include in-depth interviews, focus groups, uninterrupted observation, and ethnographic participation/observation.

Our quantitative research is typically used to confirm key insights and other findings uncovered during the qualitative phase. Quantitative research tells us what’s most important to your customer, identifies the features and benefits that should take center stage, and informs message flow. We can collect and measure data through audits, points of purchase, surveys in different modalities, e.g., online, over-the-phone, on paper, and click-streams.

A valuable tool in the market research armamentarium, ad boards offer marketers a unique opportunity to discover unexpected customer insights that tend to surface more readily in the context of the collaborative—and at times robustly competitive—interaction of a group format.

Glue ad boards can be recruited rapidly and be conducted live and in-person, virtually, or asynchronously, improving your chances of engaging top thought leaders to discover their expert perspectives, and the strategic implications we can leverage into compelling creative with the power to change behavior across the consumer journey.

We have a team of expert moderators, led by Glue CEO Cindy Machles, who thoroughly understand the unmet needs, the competitive landscape, and your brand so that we can explore the full expression of potential solutions, including positioning, mission and vision, corporate identity values, and employee value proposition.

In response to the market-research needs of several of our clients, especially those with smaller budgets and accelerated timelines, Glue has developed a proprietary method for fast and effective insight generation.

Our process starts with a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) otherwise known as a competitive analysis. Findings from this step inform the discussion guide that we use in one-on-one qualitative research with key stakeholders. This, in turn guides development of stimuli for quantitative research. In other words, it’s virtually everything we do for conventional market research, but on hyperdrive and with a leaner budget.

With insights gained from a 30-day deep dive, we created the Pollen Punch for Dymista.
