Case Studies

1. Mars Confectionary
Before founding Adept Research, Duncan Buchanan produced a breakthrough qualitative report into the mind set of school fundraising for Mars Confectionary, the impact of which still influences marketing into this sector today.

In the fundraising market we were trying to enter, Duncan's report showed us that the "gatekeepers" were the key to our success. They were the real target market.

2. Unique Micro Design
Our web survey in 2000 was one of the first business to business studies done on line in Australia. From this we identified that while UMD had a wide range of products available for its customers, only a small portion of this range were being purchased on regular basis. We recommended that UMD expand its marketing communication and as a result this situation was corrected.

Adept Research found a weakness in our business that we were not aware of. We have since turned it around so that it is one of our major strengths. That alone justified the research that they did for us. In addition, Adept Research gave us clarity. We now are starting to really understand our customers. Their web based survey delivered everything we wanted.
