chrisYour Projects Deserve a Power Hitter

Chris is a big-league researcher who has covered all bases and can bring a unique marketing and consumer perspective to her clients.  Prior to joining Doyle Research Associates, Chris worked for an advertising agency (Euro/RSCG), and on both the client-side (Hasbro/Parker Brothers) and supplier-side (Synovate/Research International) of the research business.  Chris has experience in conducting a variety of both traditional and innovative quantitative and qualitative research studies including advertising research, concept evaluations, product testing, positioning research, attitude and usage research, deprivation studies, "dine-around" research, ideation, ethnographies and immersion experiences.   A lover of all things fun and playful, Chris’ passion is conducting research among little leaguers: children, tweens and teens.  When she’s not on the road, she "moonlights" as a marketing research instructor at Chicago's Columbia College where she shares her expertise with aspiring young marketers and researchers. 

About Us

sharp-cookies, not cookie cutters.

We pride ourselves on custom-designed research and client-centered solutions. At Doyle Research there's not a boilerplate in sight!  We encourage creative thinking, and we don’t just keep up with change we make change...all for the benefit of our clients.

Passion. Focus. Experience.

We love what we do, and it shows.  We specialize exclusively in qualitative research, and make it our business to continually learn and innovate.  While young at heart, our researchers average 19 years of market research experience, including stints on the client and agency sides. And we play an active role in the industry, with members of our staff on the speaking and lecturing circuit, on the faculty of a local college, and in positions with the Qualitative Research Consultants’ Association (QRCA).
