Market Research Insight

MRI is a full service marketing research company providing research based marketing strategies for political campaigns. Market Research Insight, like many successful companies, is a product of its founder. Dr. Verne R. Kennedy has gained national recognition in both marketing research and higher education. A native of New Orleans, he completed his Ph.D. degree at State University and post-doctoral studies at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Kennedy held faculty positions at the University of Georgia, the University of South Alabama, and Louisiana College, before accepting the presidency of Belhaven College in 1978. Dr. Kennedy fulfilled all requirements for his Ph.D. degree at age 25 and was a college president at age 36. Market Research Insight was initially a moonlighting activity for a young college professor but quickly grew to a full-service research company demanding the full attention of its founder. In 1986, Dr. Kennedy left higher education to devote full attention to the research firm.

Research Resources

MRI corporate offices, production facilities, and call center are located in Florida. Following a nationwide site search for MRI’s location, Pensacola was selected due to the area’s outstanding interview labor pool drawn primarily from military spouses from nearby Navy and Air Force bases. Most telephone interviewers have general American speech patterns, many from the Midwest, and are either college graduates or have some college experience.

Field Research Facility

The MRI call center utilizes high-bandwidth lines dedicated to survey interviewing. Our CATI System, Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing, uses state-of-the-art hardware and software. To ensure the highest level of accuracy, extensive computer and silent audio monitoring capability, permits supervisors to constantly monitor interviewer performance.
