Don’t Try to Be Pew Research
Thought leadership research serves you and your audience. It doesn’t need to serve everyone.
It’s not as easy as just offering everyone a gift card or a chance at an iPad. Incentive strategy can have a big impact on your response rate (and your legal liability)!
You may not be considering how your research initiative can bring your whole organization together — but you should!
In some situations, balancing your survey data may be appropriate to ensure you’ve got a representative sample.
Many of our agency clients working on thought leadership research worry that they don’t have a strong niche. Many do — they’re just not thinking about niche the way I think they should.
Thought leadership research is the diving board. YOU are the diver.
Guess what? The research isn’t the thought leadership. It’s what you build on top of the research that demonstrates your expertise.
