InnovateMR’s acquisition of Ivy Exec addresses the next crucial evolution of the research landscape. By combining various insights methods into a cohesive research experience, our team offers a more comprehensive understanding of market targets. We understand that this strategic partnership holds the potential to redefine industry standards and set new benchmarks.

Two Paths Converge 

It’s important to step back and examine the distinct contributions of InnovateMR and Ivy Exec as standalone entities. InnovateMR has long been a fiercely independent sampling company, pioneering online surveys to uncover insights for businesses and consumers worldwide. On the other hand, Ivy Exec carved a niche for itself as a qualitative B2B Expert Network, providing invaluable insights to businesses seeking precision and expertise. These two distinct paths converged in a strategic move, bringing together the best of both worlds.

A Fusion of Strengths

The collaboration between InnovateMR and Ivy Exec goes beyond an acquisition; it represents a strategic alignment of strengths and expertise, aimed at creating a holistic solution for the evolving needs of the market research landscape. InnovateMR, known for its ability to deliver faster answers through innovative online surveys, identified a potential for growth by integrating qualitative depth and an Expert Network into its offerings. Ivy Exec, a resume-vetted Expert Network of over 2.5 million professionals worldwide, found InnovateMR the ideal partner to amplify its impact and contribute to a more nuanced and comprehensive research methodology. Together, InnovateMR + Ivy Exec produce indisputable award-winning quality, reach, and client services, demonstrating strength as a united force in the market research industry.

One year into the acquisition, InnovateMR and Ivy Exec have demonstrated the success of the merger. We have effectively surpassed the traditional divide between quantitative and qualitative methods.
