Explain Market Research – Growing from strength to strength

Screen Shot 2015-10-07 at 15.52.29Explain Market Research, one of the UK’s fastest growing marketing research agencies based in the North East, has recruited three new professionals taking their team of 17 to a strong team of 20.  

Alex Gates joins Explain as their Marketing Director after five years of running her own business, Marketing Wand.

Alex tells us;

“Explain were a client of mine, and after a few months of working with the team as a marketing consultant, it became obvious that joining the business on a full time basis would be a huge benefit to all.

I’ve known Explain in a number of capacities over 15 years. I have personally commissioned research projects to Explain and have always been delighted with the standard of work and the professionalism of the team. After providing consultancy to Explain since April this year we identified various opportunities, which meant they required a full time marketing professional.

Kim Davis, Explain Research’s Managing Director adds;

“Having Alex on board full time as our Marketing Director, adds huge value not just for us on our sales and marketing, but also the added value we give to our own clients.

Having an experienced and knowledgeable marketing professional in the mix allows us to deliver a service to our clients that not only provides insight and research, but also translates that research into actionable marketing strategy and delivery, closing that loop.”

Explain’s brand new website with clear service offerings was launched this week, which is just the start of the new sales and marketing journey for the business.

Kim continues;

“These are extremely exciting times for Explain, we have developed and grown a workforce that is exceptional in terms of knowledge, experience and dedication. We are already attracting new business to the organisation as a result of our reputation of quality, service and innovation.

We are growing year on year, and the fact that our customers repeat purchase, is a testament to the value that we deliver.

Also joining the business is Sam Riley as a Market Research Executive and Anna Wiltshire on a graduate trainee scheme as a Market Research Assistant.

Kim explains;

“With all the extra work being generated we’ve increased our staffing levels to meet the demand. Sam is an excellent addition to the team as he comes with a wealth of experience across sectors such as leisure, tourism and local authority.  Anna is our 4th graduate trainee of 2015 and supports our team on the delivery of various qualitative and quantitative projects.”

Sam tells us;

“It’s wonderful to join a business that has demonstrated growth and continues to invest in the team and technology to deliver high standards of service and value to its customers.”
