Case Studies

There is a reason why we’ve returned to BEAM for fieldwork services year after year…they just get it! They understand research, they understand participants, they understand our clients’ needs and they understand ampersand research. ampersand research recently used BEAM to recruit relatively hard to find participants within the education sector.  With limited sample and limited time, we knew that this was a project for the Beam Team!  Whilst there were challenges, BEAM were proactive in providing advice and guidance on how we could overcome them allowing us to successfully complete the project on time, on budget and to spec. The team are always friendly and display a can do attitude and willingness to help and their communication is second to none! At ampersand research we feel we work with BEAM rather than BEAM working for us.  It is a relationship we value and hope to continue to develop in the long term.

Our business model as a small and highly responsive insight consultancy depends on partners for recruitment and data collection we can rely on totally. When we are given a few days to turn around a project, we have to know we can achieve that without simply transferring the pressure to our suppliers. Equally, when the need is for top quality or an accurate reflection of a difficult consumer profile the same thing applies. BEAM has become a key part of our Network of Partners we rely on to deliver great work to our clients. We can discuss the feasibility for a specific brief with them with total honesty and know they treat us the same way. Good work stems from a close understanding of what is practical and achievable – together we have always delivered on this basis.

BEAM are an incredibly valuable extension of our team when we work on qual projects. We’ve done a number of online community projects in particular over the last few years and the standards have been fantastic. The norm is 100% completion – which significantly reduces the admin burden part of these projects – and the quality of the respondents is always really high. But more than that, Amy and the team are always on hand to offer advice; to help us shape projects, to work out new and better ways of finding the right people and to ensure things work as efficiently as possible.

The team at BEAM are a pleasure to work with and are 100% committed to delivering a top quality service. They live up to the values they have set with a highly resourceful and trustworthy approach to fieldwork on our projects. Northstar are proud to work with BEAM Fieldwork as a trusted partner for our Automotive, FMCG and consumer recruitment needs.
