Testimonials

“The team’s existing knowledge and insights into our industry meant they were able to derive meaningful, impactful recommendations. On top of RbD’s market research expertise, it is their knowledge and insights into the membership sector and experience of working with other associations that sets them apart. We enjoyed working with the team, it felt like they took the pain out of it for us and helped us deliver some really meaningful results and recommendations.

Our Chief Executive is currently using the findings (alongside other sources) to help shape his emerging strategy. And they helped inform a key decision for our board of directors on our financial services. So, I think it’s fair to say that we’re making good use of the insights!”
