SKIM appoints Robert Wucher as Senior Director - DACH region
SKIM welcomes Robert Wucher as Senior Director in Berlin to lead commercial growth and client partnerships across the DACH region.
It is no secret the market research industry is under pressure to deliver sound and strategic insights within shrinking budgets and time frames. In fact, ten years from now efficiency is predicted to be the deciding factor when commissioning research. This presents a serious challenge for qualitative research, with traditional methods being directly at odds with the need for speed. However, demand for qualitative insight is predicted to increase, driven by a need to convert big data into smart data and provide meaning, clarity and focus to the growing sea of numbers. Confronted with this scenario, SKIM was keen to investigate potential solutions to ensure qualitative research remains an accessible source of insight for their clients.

— William Serfaty, Danone’s global strategy and insights manager
