Blending the rigor of traditional market research with the what’s-possible mindset of software and technology


Our full-service market research team understands creating, positioning, or reinvigorating products and brands is a high-stakes investment for any industry from manufacturing to consumer-packaged goods to automotive.

To meet these challenges head-on, we invested in a market research department – its own entity within Stable Kernel. With market research as your foundation, your team identifies target audiences, prioritizes new product opportunities, and uncovers customer sentiments – all before investments are made.

Our department is led by Mary Elzey, an expert with more than 20 years in the market research industry. She’s had an impact on some of the largest brands in the world through her leadership of qualitative and quantitative market research initiatives.
