Faced with the challenge of optimizing efficiencies to better serve their clients, Tim Hoskins, President of Quester, sought an alternative provider.
Client
Quester is a strategy and insights firm, focused on a narrative-based approach to the three key areas of business – Innovation, Brand Marketing & Communications, and Consumer Experience.
Challenge
Despite a successful collaboration with an alternative provider, Hoskins sought ways to further refine and streamline their research processes with a focus on maximizing efficiency. PureSpectrum came highly recommended, and Quester’s operation team’s positive experiences leveraging the PureSpectrum platform for other studies fueled their confidence to embark on a long-term partnership. The ultimate challenge was to seamlessly transition from Quester’s existing partnership to a new collaboration with PureSpectrum. The goal was to overcome
potential roadblocks and ultimately enhance Quester’s ability to deliver high-quality insights and strategies in a more efficient and cost-effective manner for their clients.
Solution
The introduction of feasibility checking for studies by PureSpectrum emerged as a pivotal solution in Quester’s pursuit of maximizing efficiency. This feature provided an immediate and long-term benefit, proving to be indispensable in their proposal and field planning processes. The first major milestone was achieved when Quester conducted a study utilizing the US representative click-in sample approach, marking a seamless and more reliable process compared to their previous platform. This not only validated the efficiency of PureSpectrum but also served as a catalyst for Quester’s confidence in the platform. Another significant achievement was Quester’s first international study, where PureSpectrum demonstrated its capabilities by delivering better traffic in terms of both quantity and
quality. This success broadened the scope of potential use cases, positioning the PureSpectrum platform as a superior choice compared to other partners. PureSpectrum’s innovative features directly addressed Quester’s goal of maximizing efficiency in study planning and execution.
“Fielding has enhanced in both timing and quality. PureSpectrum's steadfast commitment to these advancements further solidifies our confidence in the relationship.”
