I have used Lidia and Pulse Group in both quantitative and qualitative studies over the past several years with a variety of clients/industries. Lidia and her team have always approached each and every assignment with amazing depth and clarity of understanding, pointing out how we might modify questions etc to gain a deeper, richer understanding. And following the study design and testing and after the field work, their prompt turnaround and reporting detail is exemplary, providing rich insights from the findings. And even after the report and presentation, they have always been more than helpful in providing further opinions and insights (following additional cross tabulations in the quant studies for example).

As a researcher having worked in the CPG research arena for the past 23 years, my long standing relationship with the Pulse Group over the past decade is in itself a testament to the insightful, strategic value-add this group brings to any study we have partnered on over the years. Lidia's background in both marketing and research together make for a great combination of Brand building fundamentals that is not always typical of research suppliers. This boutique research house goes above and beyond to work in partnership with the client from the beginning of the project working as both a marketer and thinking as a researcher through to the end of the deliverable. The result is always strategic, meaningful, insightful and significant to the Brand.
