How Survey Campaign Management runs

How research runs

Ask a question you can act on.

01
Frame

The decision the research is meant to inform, written down before the questionnaire exists.

02
Instrument

Question design and sampling built to avoid the leading phrasing that ruins most surveys.

03
Field

Distribution through the channels your customers already answer, with incentives where needed.

Findings written as decisions and open verbatims, not a deck of stacked bar charts.

What a research campaign puts on the table.

Most surveys fail before fielding, because they were written to confirm something rather than to decide something. We start from the decision on the table, work backwards to the smallest instrument that can inform it, and report in language a leadership team can act on the same week.

  • A one-page decision brief naming the choice the research informs, the threshold that would change it and who owns that call.
  • A questionnaire of twelve to eighteen questions, pretested with five respondents and revised before fielding.
  • A documented sampling plan with target n, quota cells and the margin of error you should expect at that size.
  • Fielding through your own list, a purchased panel or intercepts on site, whichever matches the population being asked.
  • Cleaned response data delivered as CSV with straightliners, speeders and failed attention checks flagged rather than silently deleted.
  • Crosstabs on the three cuts that matter to the decision, plus significance testing so nobody argues over a four-point gap that is noise.
  • A written readout: findings as recommendations, verbatim quotes that carry the texture, and an explicit list of what the study cannot tell you.

From decision to readout in six weeks.

  1. Week 1
    Frame

    A ninety-minute working session to write the decision brief. If the room cannot name what would change based on the results, we stop and fix that before writing a question.

  2. Week 2
    Instrument

    Questionnaire drafted, scales chosen, and leading phrasing stripped out. Pretest interviews usually surface two questions that meant something different to respondents than to us.

  3. Week 3
    Field

    Live collection with daily completion monitoring and quota balancing, so the last hundred responses are not all from one segment that happened to be fast.

  4. Week 4
    Clean and cut

    Quality flags applied, open ends coded into a themed frame, and crosstabs built against the cuts named in week one rather than whatever looks interesting.

  5. Week 5–6
    Readout

    A live session with the decision-makers, then a written document with the recommendation up front and the methodology appendix where it belongs.

What we need to write a good instrument.

We will push back on questions that cannot change an action, and on sample sizes too small to support the claim you want to make from them. That pushback is the deliverable working early.

  • The decision, in one sentence, and the date it has to be made by.
  • Any prior research on the question, even if you think it was badly done.
  • Your customer list with segment tags, if the population is your own customers.
  • Budget for incentives, because unincentivised panels skew toward people with time rather than people with money.
  • The internal disagreement the study is meant to settle, named honestly.
  • Any regulated language your category requires when contacting customers.

Three studies, and what they changed.

Pricing before a launch

Four hundred and twelve responses on a Van Westendorp price series gave an acceptable range narrower than the internal debate had assumed, and the launch price landed inside it.

Why churn happened

A hundred and eighty exit surveys with one open-ended question showed that cancellations clustered around an onboarding step, not price, which redirected a quarter of roadmap effort.

Message testing for a law firm

Six positioning statements tested monadically across nine hundred respondents; the winner beat the partners' favourite by a margin that held up under significance testing.

Respondent privacy and who owns the data.

Six weeks from decision brief to readout is the honest planning number when the sample is a purchased panel. Fielding to your own list can compress that to four; a low-incidence B2B population can stretch it to nine, and we say which one you are in before you commit budget.

You own the dataset, the questionnaire and the coded verbatims. Respondent identities are handled under the disclosure they were shown, are never sold onward, and are separated from response data in everything we deliver.

Questions we get every week.
