Our MR Division carries out all stages of research,
from the initial design to the final processing, analysis and interpretation of the data and emerged insights.

Our team consists of multidisciplinary and complementary professionals
in the roles of statisticians, sociologists, psychologists and computer scientists, specialised in qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The MR team covers the entire territory with a network of recruiters, interviewers, moderators, simultaneous translators and analysts.

We operate in Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Consumer (B2C), for national and international clients.
We carry out research studies and fieldworks for domestic clients and foreign institutes. Managing projects on behalf of the largest international research institutes has enabled us to grow and acquire all-round global thinking.

We treat all data we receive from our customers with the utmost care
guaranteeing the confidentiality of those involved in the investigation, in accordance with the guidelines dictated by the Data Protection Authority (GDPR).
Tailored solutions

We offer flexible customized services:
- full service: we follow customers along every stage of the research, identifying with them the best solutions;
- fieldwork: we support other research institutes – mainly international ones – in all operational phases of research.

We distinguish ourselves by:
- high quality of recruitment and data retrieval and collection, both qualitative and quantitative-wise;
- adherence to deadlines;
- attitude to problem solving;
- best value for money.

We use internal ICT facilities, for:
- the development and management of CATI, CAPI and CAWI platforms;
- questionnaire programming and data processing (SPSS, ASCII, EXCEL formats).

For qualitative research, we rely on senior moderators, translators and analysts selected for their expertise in the fields:
Financial, Pharmaceutical, FMCG, Media and Communication, Fashion and Luxury, Automotive and Fast- Moving Consumer Goods.
Our expertise in the Healthcare industry.
We are experts in qualitative research, resorting both to traditional and to the most advanced methodologies with digital research tools such as Web Diary, workshops, online ethnography, blogs and online communities.
We have access to General Practitioners and Specialists in any pathology, retail and hospital pharmacists and KOLs operating both nationally and regionally.
Through specialists we identify unmet needs, prescribing habits based on patient profiles, therapeutic choices by monitoring product knowledge and potential.
We interview patients and caregivers to understand pathways from diagnosis to treatment, identifying the impact of the diseases on everyday life; they are all profiled based on analysis of attitudes and responses to treatment. Finally, thanks to patient associations, we have a privileged observatory on rare diseases and disorders.
All of our project managers, recruiters, moderators and analysts constantly receive certified training in the management of adverse events required by pharmaceutical companies; adverse events are always managed and reported exactly as established by Pharmacovigilance.
As an ESOMAR member, there is a further commitment to ensuring professional ethics towards our clients and maintaining high standards of research activity and reliability of survey results.
