MORE LOVE
Our IIC Community truly loves what they do.
Here are a few reasons for you to love it too!
At its core, market research is about finding out about people and I like to think at it's purest about humanity. It's about understanding how we are alike, but also how we are uniquely different. And telling that story in the service of the TRUTH about people - not what a brand wants to hear, but what is true about people.

I love to be a Researcher because you are always learning new things, and new ways of thinking. Every project is a challenge to use the things that you know (learnings, process, insights, methodologies, etc) and adapt them to a new problem/question, to discover new things. To be a Researcher is a continuos learning process, in which I´m reinventing myself every time, not only with new data, but also with new points of view. I also love questioning status quo (also mine!!). Being a Researcher is take nothing for granted!

Shining a Light on Our Tensions
As researchers, we get to create human stories and, if we’re lucky, we can bring data to life in beautifully compelling ways.
However, when it comes to navigating the workplace as minorities in research, we are often forced to ignore the ironies of our work; telling the stories of consumers while silencing our own.

Being a minority in market research & insights sometimes means…
Trying to solve vastly complex multicultural briefs with small, non-existent budgets and/or resources.
