A fortnight ago our second breakfast networking and learning seminar was held at the Wintergarden Pavilion.

Research Solutions researchers Bart Langton and Jonathan Dodd gave their award-winning presentation from the 2005 Market Research Society conference to a packed house.

The presentation, entitled “Integrating Consumer Insights into your Interactive Marketing” was well received, with several attendees requesting repeat performances for their own clients.

This was the second of a series of seminars intended to be held quarterly, heralded under the banner of
“Chat > Sub > Learn >> Invigorate!”

News:
Debra Hall made a Fellow of the Market Research Society of NZ

Debra Hall, founder and Research Director of Research Solutions, was recently made a Fellow of the NZ Market Research Society.

The appointment was made in recognition of Debra’s immense contribution to the industry, perhaps demonstrated most clearly by her establishment of Research Solutions with two colleagues in her garage in 1992, and the company’s subsequent growth into New Zealand’s largest 100% locally-owned research company, with over 100 employees.

Debra’s research skills have also been recognized several times through the biannual Market Research Effectiveness Awards, with Debra winning the main award for Innovation twice of the three times it has been awarded.

All stemming from when she was an ex-engineer raising her kids in Pakuranga, applying for a job turning numbers into words!
