As artificial intelligence, evolving consumer behaviors, and declining engagement challenge traditional research methods, the industry faces a critical question: How do we create research experiences that people genuinely want to participate in while generating richer, more reliable insights?
This session brings together two complementary perspectives on the future of market research. The first presentation challenges the industry's long-standing reliance on incentivized survey participation and explores whether escalating investments in fraud detection, screening, and data cleaning are addressing the wrong problem. Instead, attendees will consider a future where AI-enabled, conversation-based methodologies transform quantitative research into engaging human experiences, producing deeper insights while improving respondent engagement and data quality.
Building on that theme, the second presentation demonstrates what happens when researchers move beyond studying consumers and instead bring consumers directly into the research process. Through a case study with Gen Z researchers working alongside Filippo Berio USA and Kroger, attendees will learn how embedding members of the target audience as interviewers, observers, analysts, and strategists revealed behaviors and decision-making patterns that traditional approaches often miss. The presentation will also candidly examine AI's role in the research process, highlighting both its value and the safeguards required to ensure trustworthy outcomes.
Together, these presentations challenge conventional assumptions about who participates in research, how insights are gathered, and the role AI should play in future methodologies. Attendees will gain practical inspiration for designing research that is more human-centered, more engaging, and ultimately more reflective of real-world consumer behavior.
Thank you to our sponsors, Burke and EMI Research Solutions, for making this event possible!
Parking
There are several convenient paid parking options within walking distance of The Marketer Collaborative. We recommend Mercer Garage, located directly behind the building, as the primary parking option for attendees. A surface lot across the street and metered street parking via the CincyPark app are also available. Please note that parking fees are the responsibility of attendees, as parking validation is not offered.
Anna Goldhahn leads research and behavioral science initiatives that support business, marketing, and customer strategy decisions at Prudential Financial. Throughout her career, spanning both agency and client-side leadership roles, she has focused on understanding how people make decisions and how organizations can better serve them. Her recent work explores one of the research industry's toughest challenges: engaging increasingly difficult-to-reach audiences. Anna is a frequent advocate for rethinking the participant experience and for creating research that earns participation rather than relying solely on financial incentives.
David doesn't fit neatly into the "academic presenter" box and that's exactly the point. As a Professor of Marketing at NKU's Haile College of Business and founder of The Underground Agency, he's spent nearly two decades building something rare: a research practice where real clients get real answers, and students do the work. With 25+ years in marketing and 17 years studying Gen Z and Millennials before it was a mainstream obsession, he brings the instincts of a practitioner and the rigor of a researcher – a combination that earned him recognition as a Cincinnati Marketing Legend.
The Underground Agency, recognized by AACSB International as a Catalyst of Change and one of the Top 25 Innovations That Inspire, is fully embedded in David's courses, giving student researchers an immersive, internship-caliber experience on projects for brands like P&G, Kroger, PepsiCo, Frontier Airlines, and Filippo Berio. It's part classroom, part consultancy, entirely serious about impact.
What sets David apart is his obsession with the gap between what people say and what they actually do...the behavioral undercurrents that traditional research often misses. His teams design mixed-methods research from the ground up: deliberate sequencing of qualitative and quantitative phases, in-context observation, and AI-assisted synthesis that accelerates without replacing human judgment. Clients keep coming back for another reason too: the researchers are the audience. When brands like P&G, PepsiCo, and Filippo Berio need to understand Gen Z, David's student teams don't just study them, they are them. That insider proximity, combined with rigorous methodology, is what turns messy shopper reality into strategies brands can act on Monday morning.

GLP-1 medications are changing appetite, but appetite is only one part of why people eat. Habit, ritual, emotion, and sensory expectation don't just disappear when the hunger signal does. So what happens to the product experience when appetite is no longer the driver?
Curion studied consumers across two phases — a qualitative Digital Selfnography and a quantitative Central Location Test — to find out. We recruited current users, former users, and never-users of GLP-1 medications, studied side by side, across their real daily eating lives and product evaluations.
In this webinar, lead researchers Hudson Hausmann and Rachel Orona present what we found and what it means for the products being developed for this consumer right now.
What You'll Learn
- How GLP-1 usage impacts appetite, cravings, satiety, and the motivation to eat
- Where the physical and emotional experiences of eating align and where they don't
- Which product categories GLP-1 users are focused on now, and how product choice and occasions are changing
- Whether GLP-1 users are consciously seeking different textures, formats, and portion sizes, or whether the shift is happening before they've recognized it
- How the joy of eating differs across current, former, and never-users of GLP-1 medications
