When conducting marketing research with corporate entities, especially large businesses with turnovers exceeding $1 billion, and with C-level and senior directors, the focus is often on high-level strategy, market positioning, growth opportunities, risk assessment, and future-proofing the business. Research typically needs to be more strategic, forward-looking, and data-driven, given the high stakes and broad implications of their decisions. This research can inform long-term strategies, guide major investments, and shape the overall direction of the company.
