Secondary Research

Category/Industry Briefs

A category or industry brief gives you a concisely presented analysis of secondary data, market information and published research. It can be an especially valuable resource for our clients who are looking for a quick way to better understand trends and developments within a particular industry or product/service category.

Category/industry briefs are an excellent solution when a busy ad agency executive or company marketing director needs insight into competitive market environments or their competitors' positioning, branding or marketing strategies, but can’t justify commissioning a full- blown qualitative or quantitative research project.
