20/20 Research, Inc. was founded in 1986 by former QRCA President Jim Bryson; since then, the organization has experienced growth, change and significant success:
1986: Started as a full-service marketing research firm with one Focus Group room attached.
1996: Divested research capabilities to concentrate on the Focus Group business; relocated and opened a 2-room Focus Group facility in Nashville.
1999: Expanded into Charlotte, NC and opened a 3-room Focus Group facility (now a 4-room facility, plus "Take Five", a client-only place to relax and unwind).
2001: Started an Online Division for conducting qualitative research on the internet; this included developing Qualboard™, the industry-leading discussion board software and establishing our nationwide recruiting group.
2005: For nearly every year since their respective openings, and for the 5th straight year, both the Nashville and Charlotte facilities earned the prestigious "Top Rated" ranking from Impulse Research, recognizing them as two of the best Focus Group facilities anywhere in the US.
2006: Opened a state-of-the-art 4-room Focus Group facility (with bi-lingual staff) in the Doral area of Miami, FL.
2006: Launched the 20/20 Rewards Program, the only program of its kind in the industry, where clients can earn great brand-name merchandise, just for booking their projects with us.
Fall of 2007: The Nashville Focus Group facility relocates just down the street from the old location and expands into a brand new 3-room facility.
As of July, 2007, 20/20 Research employs more than 80 full-time and part-time employees.
