I have been with MarketResearch.com for over ten years helping clients with their information needs. In the last few years there has been an explosion of new companies creating market research reports. So, vetting publishers and content is becoming one of the most important aspects of my job.

You can tell a lot by a company’s logo. 

Especially in hindsight.

When we acquired the market research publisher Packaged Facts 20 years ago the logo was a paperclip. 

Which was fitting, as was its name, since the company started out as a packager of facts, probably delivered in a stack of paper bound by a clip?

But the evolution of how market research is produced and the changing customer expectations is more dramatic than going from a paperclip to a paperless click.

Twenty years after the launch of MarketResearch.com, questions about the changing concept of content, the new face of the customers and the overall business landscape, abound.
