Advertising Claims Support

Our team specializes in designing and conducting claim substantiation research. Advertising Claims Support research differs significantly from traditional market and survey research. Surveys designed for advertising claim substantiation must follow distinct standards and guidelines compared to other survey types. These standards cover various aspects, including selecting consumer participants, sourcing and preparing products, formulating questions, analyzing data, and reporting results.
