As a leader in market research panel data gathered from consumers in both B2B and B2C spheres and deeply profiled across over 1,000 attributes, Research Now has developed multiple approaches to enriching data, surveys and advertisement effectiveness.
Learn how we are integrating first-party data with a spectrum of third-party data sets - such as political, automotive, voter, purchase, consumer segmentations - as well as corporate CRM data to optimize research to empower market research agencies, advertising agencies and corporate marketers to make more effective data-driven decisions.
