SKIM named one of the top 20 most innovative market research suppliers in 2018

SKIM moves up to #17 in the 2018 GreenBook GRIT Top 50

We are proud to announce SKIM has been ranked in the top 20 among GreenBook’s GRIT Top 50 Most Innovative Companies report. Widely recognized as the leading and most comprehensive survey of the market research industry, the GRIT Top 50 is based on a survey of nearly 4,000 market research professionals across industries, both client and supplier-side. Last year SKIM made its debut on the list at #28 and this year we cracked the Top 20 at #17.

How to measure innovation?

GreenBook asks research providers and clients to name companies they perceive to be most innovative and why. The top five reasons companies were named to the list include:

• new methodologies, developing new methods and tools,
• an innovative approach and creative,
• use of technology,
• behavioral science methods and nonconscious measurement, and
• business models

“The way our clients and industry peers describe innovation speaks directly to the DNA of SKIM; passion, creativity and rigor. From mobile, to voice, to automation, SKIMmers are always looking for new ways to understand how, where and when consumers are making decisions, today more than ever.”

SKIM has partnered with 18 of the top 25 most innovative client companies on the list.
