Reimagining Research for a New Generation of Insight
5:30PM
The Marketer Collaborative

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!

Anna Goldhahn, Director of Institutional Insights & Behavioral Science, Prudential Financial

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 Raska, Professor of Marketing & Founder, The Underground Agency, Northern Kentucky University

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.

The Unpolished Path
4:30-7:30PM
Xero Auckland Office

In an industry that’s constantly evolving, the research, data & insights landscape has seen its fair share of disruption. From the rise of automation and AI, to shifting client expectations, economic uncertainty and workplace games. Navigating these changes has tested our resilience, attitude and wellbeing, but ‘she’ll be right’.

‘The Unpolished Path’ is dedicated to celebrating the resilience, reinvention and real-life lessons of women in insights and related industries. Through candid conversations and shared experiences, we’ll explore how missteps have led to key milestones – and how paths we didn’t plan often shaped us the most.

Join us as we bring together our industry of experienced rollercoaster riders, as we discuss:

  • Career Crossroads: Redundancies, reinvention, and the unexpected opportunities that followed.
  • Lessons in from the curveballs: How past detours and early missteps prepared us for what’s next.
  • The Power of Perspective: How failure, feedback and fear fuelled long-term growth.

We're bringing together an exceptional line up - Kat Francis, Jacqueline Freeman and Sophia Blair! 🔥

Wire + Curion | Food, Drink, Rewired: The GLP-1 Consumption Shift
1:00 PM CST

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

Spring Back: Staying Stronger Together
06:30-08:00pm

An event after the year that has challenged us all personally and professionally in unforeseen ways, and forced us to channel our RESILIENCE to push past these obstacles.

As our home lives and work lives have become more intertwined than ever before.

As parents learned how to play parent and teacher to children of all ages in virtual schooling.

As the economy and job market took a steep downward turn, causing many to wind up searching for new employment opportunities that were hard to come by.

As people watched loved ones & strangers suffer physically and mentally without being able to reach out for a loving hug.

Join us for an event bringing together the Boston Wire community to celebrate our triumphs, learn from another and continue stronger together.

...

With a year of quarantine behind us, let's reconnect and reflect on lessons learned, changes made, and obstacles met. First we'll log into Zoom for an introduction and brief meditation to set the tone. We'll then move over to a fun virtual meeting space where facilitators will host "discussion round tables" on topics like work/life integration, parenting through the pandemic, and more. Finally, we'll come together to share our achievements and takeaways from the event. This is your chance to meet and mingle in a safe, online environment designed with the experiences of Women in Research in mind. Attendees of all genders are welcome — invite friends and colleagues for a fun night in!

If Esomar North America 2026: Unfiltered has been on your radar, now is a good time to take a closer look at the program. The conference is coming to Atlanta November 3-4, and standard pricing ends October 11.

Across two days, researchers will get into some of the issues showing up in research work right now: where AI fits into research workflows, what synthetic audiences can and can’t do, how teams are tackling data quality and what they’re learning as they test new methods.

The program also gets very practical. Researchers from Nike, Chick-fil-A, Kimberly-Clark and other organizations will share work from inside their teams, and a free, pre-conference Columbia Business School masterclass will look at how to think more sharply and make better decisions from data.

There’s plenty of time built in to meet other people working across insights as well, whether you’re on the brand side, at an agency or consultancy, or working in research technology.

Standard pricing is available through October 11. As an Esomar partner, we can also offer our community an additional 15% off registration with code UNFILTERED2026_WIRE.
