How we build a research-driven marketing team
THE EDSTELLAR MARKET RESEARCH CAPABILITY MODEL
Diagnose
We assess how your team currently gathers market evidence, from ad-hoc surveys to commissioned studies, and find where decisions are made on instinct.
Standardize
Your team adopts one shared toolkit: research briefs, survey templates, sampling rules, and analysis checklists that keep every study rigorous.
Practice
Hands-on labs walk learners through questionnaire design, fieldwork setup, and real dataset analysis, so every method is learned by doing.
Measure
We benchmark each learner against quality standards for survey design, sampling, and insight reporting, then target coaching where it is needed.
Scale
Your team leaves with reusable research playbooks and dashboards that make market research a repeatable capability, not a one-off project.

Program Overview: What is Market Research?
Market Research is a 24-hour instructor-led program for marketing teams that need to design and run credible research instead of outsourcing every question. It covers research planning and study design, secondary research and market sizing, survey and questionnaire engineering, sampling and fieldwork, data analysis, and insight reporting.
Sessions pair method briefings with workshops on a live research question the team brings. Participants scope the study, build questionnaires, design sampling plans, analyze real datasets, and draft insight reports, with instructors critiquing every instrument and coaching through analysis choices. The program closes with a five-hour capstone, an end-to-end market research project executed from brief to findings.
Bad research is expensive in both directions: decisions made on anecdotes, or months lost to studies that answer the wrong question. This program teaches teams to match method to decision, write questions that actually measure, and turn data into recommendations a business leader can act on.
The capstone delivers a complete research package: a scoped study design, a fielded instrument, an analyzed dataset, and an insight report with decision-ready recommendations. Teams leave with a repeatable research playbook they can run for the next question without calling an agency.
Across six modules, your team moves from research planning and secondary sources through survey design, sampling, and fieldwork, then into analysis and insight reporting. Every module pairs concept sessions with guided labs where learners build real instruments and work real datasets, ending with a capstone research project for your own market.

Run rigorous studies without always hiring vendors
Research teams and analysts learn end-to-end study craft, from briefs to fieldwork to insight reporting, so more work stays in-house.

Practice use cases

Ground launches and positioning in buyer evidence
Product marketers learn to validate messaging, test concepts, and size opportunities with research they can run themselves.
