Campaign Lead, Regional Government
"People are honest with Sandra. They trust her, even on subjects which may be highly personal and we have had many campaigns involving such sensitivities. Sandra also does far more than just draw out what people feel. She gets underneath and has insights into why they feel that way."
Founder, Calder Bateman
"Sandra is a dream to work with. Her ability to ask the right questions and find deeper meaning is second to none. She is able to pivot to find this deeper meaning and uncover insightful and actionable truths that are truly valuable. Sandra is always my top choice for a research partner."
Director of Value & Innovation
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sandra on several focus group projects - ranging from testing new creative to evaluating campaigns and even publication feedback. I’m always struck by her unflappable professionalism and ability to guide the conversations without introducing any bias. Her knack for putting participants at ease and drawing meaningful, insightful thoughts and reactions from each person is unparalleled. I’ve passed her name on to many colleagues and they are always equally impressed."
