Acquisition leverage Target Research Group recently expanded by acquiring Spoonshot, Inc., signaling growth capacity and a broader data ecosystem. This presents a cross-sell opportunity to existing Spoonshot clients and a chance to pitch comprehensive market intelligence, trends analytics, and faster real-time insights to expand project scopes.

Real-time insights The Realtime Insights and LIVE capabilities offer immediate, in-field reaction data and interactive product testing. Sales opportunities include pitching faster turnaround on concept testing, live respondent dialogue, and client-side decision acceleration for packaging, advertising, and product development projects.

Employee ownership As an employee-owned, mid-sized firm with hands-on senior leadership, Target Research Group can position itself as a high-care, flexible partner for mid-market brands seeking bespoke research with responsive service levels and direct access to senior experts.

Branded service suite With AdTrac, PowerTrac, and ConTrac offerings, there is a clear opportunity to upsell branded testing and optimization packages for advertising, packaging, and concept validation across food, beverage, personal care, and other CPG categories, including international studies.

Strategic IP support In-house Legal Research capabilities focusing on IP disputes, trademark and copyright substantiation, and advertising compliance can be a value add for clients launching new brands or navigating regulatory scrutiny, creating a niche upsell into risk-aware marketing and claims substantiation services.
