Introduction
The marketing research industry is a large one. A typical U.S. market research services directory may
contain over a thousand company records and the list is not comprehensive. In 2007 the top U.S. 200
market research firms had a combined income of $8.6 billion, according to the Honomichl Top 50 report of
the American Marketing Association. Yet the strength of our industry resides not in its size but in the
willingness of its members to create professional networks and to collaborate to bring projects to fruition.
