Research Services
Altimeter analysts can act as an independent research partner to identify topics, conduct quantitative and/or qualitative research, author content and engage with external audiences in a variety of ways. The following is an a-la-carte list of potential projects, but, based on interest and budget, we can work with you to create a custom scope. Examples can include some or all of the following:
- Thought Leadership Study (custom research paper) on a mutually agreed-upon topic.
- Keynote Speeches on a mutually agreed-upon topic.
- Strategy Workshops and Educational Sessions: Analysts can present research in a keynote speech or host a strategy workshop at a client or industry event.
- Webinars: To preview or reinforce research, clients may host a live webinar with an Altimeter analyst as guest presenter. The goal could be to formally introduce or reinforce research, engage the market in Q&A and promote engagement.
- Podcast or Video Series: Clients may develop a podcast or video series featuring Altimeter analysts interviewing experts and others.
- Executive Briefings/Salons: Host a meeting or salon with an analyst as a featured guest speaker on a topic of your choosing. This can also become a prototype for events held in various cities.
