Congratulations (Three New Categories)
Ahead of The Market Research Event (TMRE), The Next Gen Market Research Board of Directors and myself have been hard at work reading the many excellent nominations submitted for the 2011 NGMR Disruptive Innovation Awards. I would especially like to thank board members Jan Fager (Managing Director Swedish Marketing Federation), Michael Gadd (President Gadd Research), and Jasper Lim (Managing Director Merlien Institute) for their speedy and thorough help.
Congratulations to the 10 individual finalists and the 15 company finalists listed below. Because of the many great nominations this year we’ll be changing the categories slightly. We are keeping one individual award, but instead of breaking out clients and suppliers we will be awarding three company awards in three different categories. While winners will all be contacted by this week, we’ll be keeping the winners and the three new categories a secret until the Award Ceremony on the 8th of November.
