Solving Consumer Insights Issues

Strategic guidance on market research tools for gathering insights customized to your brand, without worries and overbuilding or overspending


How I help

I work alongside you as an experienced, objective partner. I help you:

• Turn fuzzy business questions into focused research plans • Choose the right methods for your stage, timeline, and budget • Avoid common DIY and AI-driven pitfalls • Sanity-check agency or vendor proposals before you commit • Improve surveys, screeners, and discussion guides so they actually work • Monitor data quality and flag issues early • Translate results into decisions you can confidently act on

No overbuilt studies. No unnecessary spending. No overreliance on gut feelings, publicly available research, retail data or information that is not quite right for your specific brand decision needs.

What you get

Research Wingwoman exists to help you make confident business decisions when you do not have a research department and do not want to gamble with guesswork.

This is expert research support and collaboration that meets you where you are and helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.

• Confidence that you are asking the right questions • Research that fits your reality, not an agency template • Fewer costly mistakes and re-dos • Clear rationale you can explain to stakeholders • Momentum instead of second guessing

And relief knowing someone experienced is looking out for your best interests.

Why learn more

If you have ever thought:

• I want real answers, not just data • I am worried about wasting time or money on the wrong study • I want expert guidance without being sold to

Then I may be exactly what you are looking for.
