Consulting

In the highly competitive world of news content delivery, vendors seek as much insight as possible to hone their advantages.

Jinfo Research recently conducted a private briefing with one vendor, walking through the key findings of our research on buying patterns and usage trends. We brainstormed how Jinfo's insights might support and shape the vendor's product and communications strategies, as well as how some of the vendor's questions might get integrated into the next iteration of research.

Research briefings can be arranged for any customer, on any subject Jinfo covers. For more information and to schedule a briefing, contact our director of research, Robin Neidorf, via robin.neidorf@jinfo.com, or use the online contact form for research.

Our Content is the broad platform through which we publish research-based insights. Community provides the environment to discuss them with peers. Consulting tailors the insight to your needs. Find the right Jinfo Subscription level to meet your needs.
