About

Insights Exchange was established after Founder and CEO Nichola Quail saw a very simple opportunity: to connect businesses with global research and insights specialists.

With the arrival of the professional gig economy, she identified how to effectively and efficiently fill this gap. Where market research was once purely the domain of large businesses with big budgets, Insight Exchange has developed a way to democratise this area to make it equally as accessible for start-ups and small to medium size enterprises.

Words From Our Founder

Who Are We?

Insights Exchange is now a one-stop-shop for research services, but we dramatically differ from the traditional model in that all our research partners are independent contractors. We hold a unique place in the marketing industry in that we act as a professional conduit between our clients and our research partners.

As a team of world class experts, Insights Exchange delivers superior results across a range of business problems – whether it’s to understand a client’s target audience, pivot a business, test a new product, explore a new market or measure a brand’s competitive positioning.

We have the resources and partnerships to bring real world business solutions and complete peace of mind to our clients. Clients benefit from a more cost-effective research solution and access to specialists they wouldn’t normally be able to find.
