Focus groups are magnets for opinions.

And while some people think that a comment thread on Facebook or Twitter can replace them, nothing beats face-to-face conversations.

Deep, authentic, unscripted, meaningful, and unpredictable, they are a well of knowledge.

Focus groups reveal profound insights to brands, demographics, products, markets, customers, and employees. Do them right, and learn to integrate them with other research methods and channels, and you’ve got yourself solid data to aid decision-making.

At Lucent Research, we facilitate fluid cooperation, instead of rigid planning. We strike the right balance between listening and asking.

We don’t just ask, “How much?” or “How many?” We answer “why”, “why not”, and “what else”. We read body language and ask follow-up questions that lead to unexpected insights.

Every thought and feeling is captured and analyzed efficiently.

Probe your audiences’ minds, and explore insightful conversations.
