Industries Served
I had a thoroughly delightful experience with NewtonX for a particularly hard to recruit B2B survey project. Their management of the process and client service was superb and a project that I was once skeptical about finding the right interviewees for has now completed. I was stunned at the caliber of executives they pulled in for the qual interviews.

Finding 75 CFOs for Fortune

We partnered with Fortune to conduct its first-ever CFO survey. The goal was to conduct competitive benchmarking to see what CFOs, who would be most concerned about their organization's financial health, thought about the future of work.

In 3 weeks, we custom recruited 75 hard-to-find CFOs.

Transforming UX at Pinterest

We partnered with Pinterest to help them better understand how their advertisers perceived brand trust.
Read the case study

Delivery

We found 600 professionals who were current, former, and prospective Pinterest advertisers, as well as advertising professionals working in-house for brands. We utilized a mix of qualitative and quantitative survey methods—our Q3 methodology—for in-depth insights.

Result

By using new methodologies to challenge old research assumptions and discover latent insights, our collaboration with Pinterest yielded them both an improved insights practice and more confident brand decisions.
We were delighted that NewtonX could do quant-qual-quant research in such a short time. In the B2B space, not many people are leveraging or thinking of doing these mixed methods.
