Client-Side Researchers

As former client-side researchers we built the firm we couldn't find. We can better deliver what you need because we understand. Our team members have worked in Fortune 500 companies.

This helps our clients in all phases of the project.

Real Insights, Not Tons of Data

We solve problems; we don't just give you data. Even with complex projects, the findings and your resulting direction should be clear.

Innovative Solutions

We don't try to put a square peg in a round hole. Sometimes simple is good enough. Other times complex methodologies are needed to get

deep into the heart of the issue.

Your challenge will drive our solution.

The Project is Not Over Until You Get What You Need

Has a research firm ever told you they've used up their estimated project hours and will have to charge you more? At True North we believe you hired us to answer your question, not just to give you a PowerPoint deck. It may mean more data analysis, re-working the findings, or more presentations.

No nickle-and-diming.

Leverage Behavioral Economics

Evolved learnings in Behavioral Economics have been so revolutionary that Nobel Prizes have been awarded to these researchers. True North leverages these findings to design innovative solutions. We don't just stick to the old ways of research that don't account for how we now know humans make choices.

Management Ready Findings

Have you ever had to re-write reports before you can send them to your management? Been there.

We create reports that are ready to use. In fact, it’s common for True North to by asked to present directly to the executive level of the organization.

You want answers.

You have objectives to meet, decisions to make, problems to solve. The right insights will help you make the right moves. 

We need answers.

To get the insights you need, we first have to truly understand what you’re trying to accomplish—not only what insights you’re seeking, but also how you intend to use them. That will drive the right questions, methodologies, and output, so that reports don’t just sit in a drawer.

Insights

Is your community like Buffalo, NY? If not, your community survey should reflect your community, its needs, decisions, and challenges. Unfortunately, most community studies use boilerplate questionnaires and reports. That is easier for the research firm, but it doesn’t help you. True North starts with understanding your community and creates a study specifically for you.
