Objectives

  • Stakeholders no longer wanted to rely on third-party organizations for consumer insights as they never quite fit the specific needs of the business or their partners

  • From there, The Fishin' Company's team was able to clone and launch their survey themselves in a matter of minutes, not hours or days
