Colmar Brunton has won Bronze at the global Esomar Research Effectiveness Awards, held in Amsterdam yesterday at the 70th Anniversary Esomar Congress.
Earlier, Colmar Brunton, perhaps New Zealand’s best known market and social research company (and supplier of M+AD’s monthly Top 10 TVCs column), had been named a finalist alongside US heavyweights Microsoft Corporation and the Advertising Benchmark Index.
The award was for a project Colmar Brunton carried out for Inland Revenue which focused on behavioural change research and student loan debtors living overseas.
Colmar Brunton director Jocelyn Rout led the project team and was in Amsterdam to present to the Congress and accept the award.
“The research produced powerful insights into how to engage with different debtor mind-sets,” she says. “It was challenging but rewarding to be involved in a project where the results of our research had such a meaningful impacts.”
“It’s great to be recognised on the world stage … the Bronze is a fantastic achievement.”
“All of us at Colmar Brunton are very proud of Jocelyn and the team. Her presentation at the Esomar Congress was excellent. It’s great we were able to share, and be recognised for, our research on the world stage.”
This project also won Research Association New Zealand’s Supreme Award for Market Research Effectiveness in 2016.
