We know it's September, but let's not forget about August just yet! Take a look at the numbers that wrapped up the summer.

Apart from market research and SEO, Austin enjoys writing both creatively and professionally. After being published twice, he continues to write in his free time and pursue more fiction publications.

He loves being active playing volleyball, traveling, and weightlifting when he’s not online. Austin swears that staying active helps with both professional and mental work. He also believes in being a true modern warrior-poet and strives to achieve that daily.

It's that time! We said goodbye to July last week, but that doesn't mean we forgot about its big moments. Check out the numbers that made up last month.

For this year’s United Way of Central New York Day of Caring, we headed over to Sunshine Horses in Clay! Along with helping out around the farm, we also had the chance to befriend its four-legged residents.🐎

Spot Tim & Justin having fun at the 2024 Quirk's Marketing Research Media! Hosted in NYC, the event focused on all things market research and provided a great networking opportunity (along with some A+ city views). 🍎📊

Justin has been fascinated with research and data since he was a kid. He remembers looking at the various statistics in the sports section of the newspaper and wondering what they all meant and how they were used. This curiosity about data eventually led him to research opportunities at the Marist Poll, U.S. Census Bureau, and now as a Research Analyst at Drive Research.

Outside of work, you can find Justin hiking, renovating his first home, or at a baseball game. In fact, he and his brother have visited 17 out of the 30 MLB ballparks in their lives, with a few more slated to be checked off this summer.

It's a perfect day for golf! Take a look at Chris, Justin and Mason flexing their skills at the Life Worth Living Golf Tournament. ⛳️

Can you believe it's already July? We can't! Let's not forget about June just yet, though--check out some of the numbers that shaped last month.

As we enter June, let's not forget all that happened last month! Take a look at the numbers that defined May.

Drive Research wishes everyone a safe Memorial Day!

Outside of work, Mason loves spending time outdoors and spends most of the year yearning for summer to return.

Mason is also a roller coaster enthusiast who commonly spends the offseason planning his trips for the upcoming summer. Having ridden many coasters across the United States and internationally, his next coaster is always around the corner with no thrill being too far to travel to.

When kept inside by the weather, you can always find Mason watching his favorite show Survivor every week. He is also an avid watcher of the English Premier League and long-suffering supporter of Tottenham Hotspur.

Zach, our VP of Strategy, is out and about in Vegas this week doing client research within the entertainment space! Witness the focus groups in action👀

April came and went, but it certainly made an impact! Take a look to see the numbers that defined last month.

Drive Research was proud to sponsor Mentoring Monday last night while connecting with women in business across CNY. In attendance was Emily Rodgers acting as a mentor and Lark Allen as a mentee. Thanks, Advance Media New York!

Emily Rodgers is a reality TV ju**ie, Taylor Swift enthusiast, and expecting her first baby in August 2024. Her interests in marketing and communication started at a young age, with many grade school teachers reporting, "Emily talks too much in class..." This characteristic led her to pursue a bachelor’s degree in communications with a concentration in Public Relations and Advertising at SUNY Cortland. After graduating, Emily took her passion for social and content marketing to Drive Research. As the Senior Marketing Manager, she can flex her creative muscles to grow the success of the team and clients alike.

It's April 💐 And that means it's officially time to look back and see what happened last month. Let's review some of the top numbers that defined March!

Lark's background in creative, professional, and journalistic writing has carried over into her role as content marketing specialist, where she works to promote the communication goals of Drive Research’s client partners.

Outside of work, Lark is a self-proclaimed music freak and plays bass, guitar, and (sometimes) drums. Music aside, Lark loves exploring her hometown and grabbing coffee from one of the many coffee shops in Syracuse.

A huge congratulations to Ashley Reynolds on her promotion to Senior Fieldwork Manager and Emily Rodgers on her promotion to Senior Marketing Manager. We are so grateful for the expertise and commitment both women share with our team every day.

From the Grammy's to the Super Bowl to a certain famous groundhog, February was full of action. Take a look at some of the numbers that made up last month!

George is the owner and founder of Drive Research, which he started in 2016. His background in the market research industry dates back almost 20 years. Most of his days are either spent working on growing the company or spending time with his wife and two little girls. In his free time, George loves to catch Rangers, Mets, and Giants games and always enjoys playing a little fantasy sports (as any good statistician would).

Wait, January's almost over? Yep, and you know what that means: a review of some of the numbers that had a major impact over the past month.

A huge congratulations to Emily Taylor on her recent promotion to Director of Operations! Her new role will include executing company-wide project management, training and onboarding, team culture initiatives, and more!

Emily’s goal is (and always has been) to help researchers make their work feel seamless and empower clients to make smarter decisions using insights gained from market research. This includes overseeing every step of the market research process.

Outside of work, you'll probably find her at Target, practicing her favorite song melodies (cue "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan), or at a local coffee shop with her husband Ryan and son JJ in tow.

Hard to believe it's 2024, right? As we kick off the new year, let's look back at the numbers that defined December 2023.

Outside of work, Tim enjoys spending time in nature. You would be likely to find him hiking, backpacking, or camping throughout the Hudson Valley or Adirondack Mountains of New York.

He would tell you navigation is one of his strongest skills, either on the road or on the trail. He also likes to partake in amateur landscape photography, never one to waste an opportunity for a scenic view.

At home, Tim spoils his greyhound, Maple, as his remote work companion. He is an unwavering fan of the New York Knicks, holding out hope for a championship in his lifetime.
