Jonathan Mulligan
Research Consultant, Brass Vector Research
Overview
I help organisations make decisions with confidence by delivering robust, well-designed research. From questionnaire design and statistical modelling to moderating IDIs and end-to-end studies, I provide support wherever it is needed in the research process.
Services
Whether clients need support with a specific stage of a project or end-to-end delivery, I bring practical experience from across the full research lifecycle.
My services include survey and questionnaire design, stakeholder and client feedback programmes, qualitative interviewing and moderation, statistical analysis and modelling, sampling and methodology advice, research audits and reviews, Voice of Customer and listening programmes, and the design and delivery of bespoke research studies.
Having worked in fieldwork, research operations, analytics, insight functions and commercial roles, I understand how evidence is produced and where research projects succeed or fail. This breadth allows me to move comfortably between methodological detail and practical delivery.
Clients engage me to answer complex questions, improve the quality of existing research, provide specialist methodological support, or deliver complete research programmes. Whatever the brief, my focus is on producing reliable evidence that organisations can act on with confidence.
About
I specialise in how research is done.
Over the past two decades I have worked across almost every stage of the research process, from telephone interviewing and fieldwork operations through to survey design, moderating in-depth interviews, statistical modelling, insight leadership and commercial delivery. Having spent time in each part of the chain, I understand not just what makes research useful, but what makes it reliable.
My background combines History with an MSc in Social Research Methods and Statistics. Together they shaped a belief that good evidence requires both rigorous methodology and thoughtful interpretation. I am particularly interested in the points where research succeeds or fails: sampling, questionnaire design, measurement, data quality and the practical realities of conducting research in complex organisations.
Clients engage me to design and deliver research, provide specialist support on individual stages of a project, or help solve difficult methodological challenges. Whether building a questionnaire, moderating interviews, analysing data or leading a study from end to end, my focus is always the same: producing research that is robust, proportionate and fit for purpose.
I care less about producing data and more about helping organisations make evidence-based decisions with confidence.
