Public Opinion Research & Message Development

ES uses well-established methods from the fields of political behavior, experimental psychology, and behavioral economics to develop, test, and apply communications strategies. We measure causation, not just correlation. It’s Moneyball meets clinical drug trials for communications.

Using experimental designs, online survey platforms and academic-quality samples of respondents, ES can deliver the opinion snapshot of a standard poll, the color and insight of a focus group, and the movement and certainty that’s missing from both.

These core methods in medical and social science are cutting-edge in PR. Standard polls give you a snapshot of where the public is. ES shows you where the public is, where it’s going, and why.

We have the skills to deliver actionable conclusions on practical problems with the certainty of real science, not bells, whistles and dial-meters.
