Who we are

Boston Research & Communications is a 12-year-old qualitative research and analysis network specializing in business and public affairs. The organization has served brand-name consulting firms, new-technology start-ups, Fortune 1,000 companies and higher education. At BR&C you deal directly with the analysts who gather and evaluate the information you need to make better business decisions or advance your public-policy goals.

What we do

BR&C performs studies in financial services, executive search, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, public affairs and higher education. In recent years much of our financial services work has focused on the transactional capabilities of the Internet. In manufacturing we have stressed cost reduction and sourcing in the Far East.

Why we're the best choice

Many of our analysts are former journalists or business research specialists who have telephone and on-site information-gathering experience going back to the 1970s. Over this period, they have done literally tens of thousands of interviews, most in high-pressure settings under tight deadlines. This intensive level of experience is virtually unparalleled in the industry and gives us an edge when seeking sensitive information. We know how to build rapport with key sources and have the intuitive skill to recognize important information and discard the rest.
