The Research rEvolution Starts In Philadelphia

For a few years now GreenBook and I have been working to build a global platform to support and drive innovation in the insights space. It’s been a bit of an obsession really. We’ve been experimenting with lots of different ideas, relationships, and models on this journey. Some of these experiments worked great, some were less than stellar, but all of have been wonderful learning experiences. This year all of that hard work has paid off with the launch of our Insight Innovation eXchange platform.

What’s the Insight Innovation eXchange platform you ask? Here’s a slideshare embed that will tell you all about it!

The Insight Innovation Platform Overview from Lenny Murphy

We just had a fantastic inaugural event in Sao Paulo last week (check out the presentations, videos, pics and other related content on our Pinterest page) and now we’re racing to build on that success and take things to the next level with Insight Innovation Exchange North America.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah; Lenny is pitching another conference…yawn.” is what you’re probably thinking but trust me, this is different.

Here are the things I am most excited about:

1. Working in partnership with P&G, Coke, Campbell Soup, Lowe’s Home Improvement, ESPN, Merck, Ericsson, Google, the European Commission Horizon 2020 program and U.S. Department of State AMP Project to develop the agenda

2. The entire focus of IIeX is to align client needs with cutting edge solutions providers

3. Insight Innovation Competition: Identify & support potentially game changing start-ups and align them with clients, mentors, partners & funding opportunities

4. Exploring the global view with world class speakers on the future of leveraging insights for business impact

5. Nothing “pie in the sky here”: our goal is to help all stakeholders understand and use new insights models to increase value

6. Establishing new frameworks for partnership and collaboration between the public and private sectors to drive market growth

This ecosystem we’re creating is based on creating unique strategic opportunities for many different stakeholders. IIeX is NOT just another conference; there is a much deeper level of engagement and a broader agenda with client organizations at play here. To a great extent IIeX is driven by working with those brands to develop the agenda and attract the types of companies they want to do business with. It is a funnel to connect business need with suppliers who can meet that need. They are there expressly to engage with new companies to review as potential partners. The agenda is built around that imperative.

We connect new thinkers driving innovation with seasoned practitioners looking for better ways to engage consumers, make sense of big data, leverage new technologies, and overcome business challenges. We bring together the old and the new, clients and suppliers, the marketing insights industry and surfacing technology players who (sometimes unintentionally) are forever changing the world.And, because we live in an integrated world in which innovation doesn’t happen in silos, we don’t focus on just one way that market research is changing. Rather, we set the stage for connections that help mash new technologies and ideas together, knowing that those interactions will help bring about the next rEvolution in marketing insights.

Today we unveiled the agenda of the conference. Check it out and I think you’ll see that we’re delivering on our promise.
