Why InsightOut Chicago

We recognize that there are numerous ways for you to gather information about your business, without our help. Where we believe we can add tremendous value is in helping you turn that information into action.

We are senior-level Insights professionals with 20+ years each in client-side Insights. We work with everyone from large CPGs to small non-profits.

Every day we encounter new business situations, strategic challenges, and research needs on brands and businesses large and small. We bring all that experience to you to help you meet your Insights challenges.

For Organizations with Internal Market Research/Insights

InsightOut Chicago can provide your organization with much needed flexibility to help manage temporarily out-of- balance workloads or open positions.

We design our services to fit your needs – so we can handle anything from a single project to filling a whole position; become a fully-integrated member of the brand and/or project team, or work completely through the internal Market Researcher.

We have been in your chairs, so we know that the last thing you need is a clingy consultant. We get up to speed fast and get the job done, checking in as much or as little as you prefer. We are there whenever you need us, and gone when you don’t.

For Organizations without Internal Market Research/Insights

InsightOut Chicago can be your as-needed Market Research Department.

We immerse ourselves in your brands and become a fully-integrated member of your team. We get as involved as you would like us to – from offering advice, to managing one or more discrete projects, to providing full strategic and executional research services.

We come in and out as you need us, so you get full-service, integrated research support without having to maintain a full-time staff.

For Agencies – Advertising, Promotional, Public Relations

InsightOut Chicago can help you offer market research as an added benefit to any of your current or potential clients.

We can develop research plans designed to help shape strategic initiatives, add tracking mechanisms to help your clients assess current plans, or help you analyze and derive insights from current data sets, primary or secondary.

We are available as little or as much as you need us – from a quick 10 minute question, to an hour-long review of your pitch presentation, to developing, executing, and analyzing research and tracking studies.

We’ve been “clients” for many years and can help you understand the hot spots that you may encounter in a pitch, or even translate requests from current clients.
