About this episode

George Brown, VP of Client Development at AcuPoll, joins Road2Retail to discuss market research for smaller consumer brands. The interview looks at how research can clarify who the consumer is, what the brand means to them and why they choose to buy its products.

George uses examples to explain how that understanding can inform communication and provide information a retailer wants to see before taking on a brand. The conversation also considers how research can help sales and marketing spending work harder. It focuses on research that smaller teams can use without assuming the work must be prohibitively slow or expensive.
