The VCN Approach

Real People

The VCN Process starts with Real People.  Our five star panel and top-notch recruiting is key.

Real Time Tools

We then use Real Time methodologies where we engage with and  “interview” respondents in their everyday lives.

Real Insights

Finally, we put our expertise to work to pull out Real Insights from the research and bring it to life in video reports.

Real People

Real People with Real Results

Clients repeatedly rave about VCN respondents, some even claiming they have been instrumental to new business wins.

We've assembled a team of thousands of research respondents who are digitally savvy people, from every walk of life, every economic strata, every ethnicity, from New York to Beijing.

What's more, when recruiting people for qualitative research, we employ a rigorous vetting process to weed out "professional" respondents and those who claim to be what they're not.

Is it just me or these interviewees are just exceptional people? Thrilled!”

Real Insights

Organizing your insights into market research storytelling superpowers

Real insights mean little if they can’t be organized into a meaningful story that is not only substantive but also engaging. That’s why we put as much thought and effort into market research storytelling as we do into gathering the insights in the first place.

The hands on involvement and extensive account planning expertise of Rachel Geltman (VCN’s founder) comes into play to make sure that every project is seamlessly executed and insights are translated to actionable recommendations for each and every client. Our integration of video into our deliverables brings insights to life in a unique way and is key to how VCN makes every project relevant/useful.
