Welcome to Season 2 of Fun with Research!
I have SO MUCH to share with you in Season 2! New research for agency owners, thought leadership insights, and of course answering research questions. And I have a question that may surprise you!

Research can be a wonderful way to establish your organization as an expert on an audience, a geography or an industry.
Whether you’re dealing with a decision-maker in your organization or with a client, you’ll likely come across this question. Those who have been working in organizations for some time often have assumptions about their customers and prospects that are firmly entrenched. The “Why bother?” question is one you’ll need to be prepared to answer….
Guess what? The research isn’t the thought leadership. It’s what you build on top of the research that demonstrates your expertise.
Sharing your research project — during development and after results are in — can reap lots of rewards within your organization. Don’t be stingy!
It’s not as easy as it looks, and running your own groups can affect the results.
