New technology like Generative AI is enabling smaller brands to regularly access qualitative insights for the first time. We’ll explore how and why this development will grow the industry over the coming years and as it does, provide big opportunities for independent qualitative researchers.

Specifically, we’ll cover:

  • The scope of this growing market
  • Smaller brands and qual research – then and now
  • The technologies driving change
  • The risks in that change
  • The opportunity for independent researchers
  • How you can capitalise on it

This will be supported by both primary and desk research, and illustrated with recent examples.
