Choosing between investing in humans and machine learning processes or between full-service support and ‘DIY’ software does not have to be an and/or proposition for market research agencies (MRAs).

In our latest webinar, we debunk the notion that research must be a binary choice, illustrate why a hybrid human-software model is best, and explain how your agency can seize the big opportunities in today’s research ecosystem.
