Qualitative Research
the “why”
and the “how”
custom qual services
when you need a deeper understanding
Our clients often come to us unsure about whether their research questions are best suited for a qualitative or quantitative approach. We explain that qualitative research is best when you need a deep understanding of a topic. Qualitative research helps determine the “why” and “how,” through techniques such as observation, conversation, and co-creation, rather than the “what,” “when,” and “how much.” Qualitative research allows us to develop an understanding of the emotional connection driving consumer behavior.

moderators that
uncover the hidden
drivers of human
behavior
Our moderators come from a variety of backgrounds – psychology, sociology, education, anthropology, and more – allowing us to learn from consumers in different ways. They have honed many techniques and proprietary tools to uncover the hidden drivers of consumer behavior, tapping into underlying emotional needs and motivations. Our moderators employ a variety of in-person and online approaches designed to uncover stories that matter, such as consumer perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. C+R’s qualitative experts go beyond the surface to get to the heart of what matters most to consumers.
A Rich History of Boundary-Pushing Research
C+R has a particularly rich history in qualitative research. Our founder, Dr. Saul ben Zeev, is credited with taking the group interview approach out of the academic setting and applying it to marketing research in the 1950s. His innovative thinking and willingness to push boundaries is at the heart of how we approach research today.
Qualitative and Quantitative, Together Under One Roof
For multi-modal research, our qual and quant teams are under one roof – working together every step of the way to produce a comprehensive story with incredibly rich insights. To add dimension to the insights, our in-house team of storyologists can turn raw video footage into a sizzle reel – a great way to bring a story to life, socialize insights, and help stakeholders gain empathy for their consumers.
