Our public opinion research provides our clients and the public with practical knowledge of the concerns, needs, and conditions of Massachusetts residents, businesses, and other stakeholders. 

Our research helps clients:

• Gain visibility
• Gather insight for new initiatives
• Understand their clientele

Our surveys – conducted by phone, online, or in-person – support the analytical needs of government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private corporations. We have extensive experience working with clients to design, implement, and analyze surveys that are cost-effective and timely. Survey results may be incorporated into industry studies and policy reports or be prepared as stand-alone documents that gain exposure for clients through the media or other outlets. 

We have conducted studies across a wide-range of topics, including:

• Housing
• Marine science and technology
• Coastal economy 
• Small business
