QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH SPECIALIZATION

Quantitative research in Asia is driven by Chris Robinson, one of Asia's most experienced market researchers with a client, product and country range of experience that is prodigious; experience built up over 30 years of operating in Asia.

Often referred to as one of Asia’s leading market research gurus, Chris has carried out market research projects from Pakistan to New Zealand for almost every blue chip and major local brand in the Asian region. He has lived and run research operations in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong and has owned and operated market research operations in nine countries in Asia from Indonesia to China. He brought many sophisticated research techniques to Asia and pioneered Conjoint, Choice Based Modeling and Online research in Asia.

Chris was, for ten years, one of the owners of The MBL Group, a market research consultancy that built a strong reputation for strategic decision making research. Chris is a strong believer in research that is fully “operationalized”, built around client business objectives and decision making criteria, not data for data’s sake.
