Echelon Insights is a trusted partner and advisor to the leaders solving the world’s most challenging problems. We support our clients through opinion research, uncovering new truths about how people think, feel, and believe.
Our core principles set us apart.
Transform data
into action.
Research is a means to an end — it needs to work within a plan of action. We give you clear, consumable information that is directly tied to executing your strategy.
Bring a fresh
perspective.
We don't work like your traditional research firm. With our deep expertise in non-traditional audiences and demonstrable experience winning in a digital-first world, we question assumptions and challenge the status quo. It's why our numbers hit the mark and our insights move the needle.
Build partnerships,
not just projects.
Plenty of research firms put together some survey results or a report, hand it to the client, and wish them good luck. This isn't our approach. We and our partners achieve the best outcomes when we work together to build partnerships, not just projects.
Opinion Research
Echelon Insights delivers high-integrity survey research that blends leading methodological precision with real-world expertise. Whether you’re testing messages, modeling audience or fielding rapid-turn questions, our approach is designed to advance smart decision-making and meaningful strategy.
Survey Research and Analytics
High-quality, cost-effective research–designed for real-world decisions
Our opinion research has the power to study even the hardest-to-reach audiences, powered by best-in-class methodology and in-house analytics. Whether through our Verified Voter or Consumer Omnibus studies or bespoke survey designs, our research is built to answer real questions and inform high-stakes decisions.
Qualitative Research
There is no substitute for hearing audiences discuss their thoughts and feelings in their own words. We believe qualitative research is a critical tool for gaining deep insights. We use focus groups, in-depth interviews, and Qualboards to surface the language, values and context that shape public opinion — especially in high-stakes or sensitive environments.
Message Development
We uncover which messages resonate, with whom and why. Using tools like multivariate regressions, hierarchical modeling and segmentation analysis, we help develop and refine your message for maximum impact among those that matter most. Whether you're shaping a public campaign or advocacy effort, our research helps you communicate with maximum effectiveness.

Advocacy Research

Crisis Preparedness and Response
Why do organizations need an approach to generational research?
We hear about the world being polarized - particularly related to politics but increasingly across cultures, beliefs and views on society as a whole.
There is another divide that informs the beliefs, attitudes, politics, value systems and more–that of age and generational cohorts.
Why Conduct Advocacy Research?
Ensures advocacy efforts are informed, strategic, and effective with research tailored to your organization's issues and causes.
Identify potential supporters and allies, understand where and how to reach them and what messages or creative moves the needle the most.
Prepare for the unexpected
When a crisis hits, the best organizations seamlessly mobilize research, public relations, and marketing to take back control of the narrative.
In practice, that's easier said than done. And one of the reasons is that very few organizations don't have the capacity in place to respond immediately — especially when it comes to the first step: high quality research.
