ESOMAR Corporate membership means that companies are recognised globally as being committed to higher standards, are actively educating their colleagues about research standards, and are leading the way for our industry globally.

Insight By Design believes that great consumer insight is all about great design. Simple as that. Designing the best research approach; knowing their clients will have access to the very best emerging methods and platforms. Designing a partnership that encourages creativity and flexibility instead of one about 'selling solutions'. Designing a plan for analysing results that focuses on answering business challenges instead of filling a report. And, perhaps most importantly, designing elegant and compelling deliverables that people actually want to read. They believe this is the path to shattering the mold of traditional marketing research that all too often winds up on a shelf.

Point Research was founded in 2014 by a close-knit team of highly qualified specialists who have worked for a long time in various sociological and marketing companies, as well as government agencies. Despite the relative "youth" of the company, they have extensive experience in conducting all types of large-scale marketing and social research on a wide range of topics of varying degrees of complexity. Point Research employees successfully carry out the full range of research work, from the development of a concept and research program, conducting field work and ending with the provision (at the request of the client) of analytical reports, presentations with conclusions and recommendations. The dynamically expanding list of clients and partners testifies to the success of the company.
