Ryan Partnership and Invoke Solutions Partner to Offer Insights-Based Research Tool for Marketers
WILTON, CONN -- October 21, 2004 -- Ryan Partnership and Invoke Solutions have formed a strategic alliance to launch an innovative insights-based research tool that provides marketers with a greater understanding into what appeals to target audiences and why.
The new proprietary research tool, "Insight Exploration Powered by Invoke Solutions", combines qualitative and quantitative research in a single, online, real-time solution. This new approach enables faster, highly interactive, collaborative and confident decision-making based on rich insights from critical audiences.
"Our mission is to help marketers get as close to the truth as you possibly can by tapping into the thoughts, feelings and insights of actual audiences in real-time, using real numbers," explains Corey Torrence, CEO of Invoke Solutions. "We are thrilled to have this relationship with Ryan Partnership and are eager to offer this unique capability to Ryan's client companies."
Insight Exploration generates immediate actionable learning about key audiences, whether they're consumers, shoppers or retailers. These insights are especially important in today's business climate, dominated by demand for quicker turnaround, lower costs and deeper understanding of consumer behaviors.
"Initial results among our clients that have used Insight Exploration have been extremely favorable," notes Paula Friedman, Vice President of Ryan Research & Marketing Insights. "This research tool provides marketers, in real time, with a level of flexibility and a range of insights previously unavailable before the launch of the Invoke platform.
