Market research

Category: Strategy
Market research gathers and analyses data about customers, competitors, and industry trends. It underpins every aspect of strategic and tactical decision-making in B2B marketing.

Effective research combines qualitative insight (interviews, surveys) with quantitative data (intent, web analytics) to uncover actionable opportunities. When institutionalised across teams, it ensures that campaigns, content, and products are grounded in evidence rather than assumption.
