Recent Projects We Have Undertaken Span A Cross-Section Of Industry Sectors

This is a snapshot of some of our recent studies:

  • Financial Services: An annual study of financial advisors to assess their experience using a leading trading and reporting platform for a major financial institution. The insights from this research are integrated into the innovation process to enhance the user experience.
  • Education & Training: Helping a Group Training Provider understand the ramifications of the reforms to the VET sector on the training needs of their member organisations.
  • Healthcare: An enterprise wide, quantitative Voice-Of-the Customer study to identify the critical factors impacting the experience of specialist doctors across several therapeutic areas and to help enable better alignment and integration of sales and marketing activities across the business.
  • Automotive: An ongoing tracking study for a leading automotive spare parts company to evaluate market share, brand health and customer experience amongst automotive trades and distributors. As a result our client has been able to maintain market dominance and high margins in a highly competitive and commoditised category.
  • Building & Construction: Mapping the product and brand purchasing environment across our client’s portfolio to help optimise marketing communications and channel strategy to engage with the needs of key tradespeople.
  • Primary Industry: Understanding feeding practices for livestock in key enterprises across Australia in order to assess the appeal and likely opportunity for a range of feed supplement products, helping prioritise product launches and identify key marketing messages that would resonate with livestock vets and producers.
  • Financial Services: Biannual thought leadership program for a major Bank researching the key trends, opportunities and challenges within the Retail sector.
  • Education & Training: Assisting a leading university in understanding market needs and optimising its offer to attract new post-graduate referrals from key local businesses.
  • Hospital: Understanding the needs of Managers of Central Sterilisation Service Departments and the critical issues impacting delivery of their services across operating theatres within their hospitals.

We found ACA Research to be very professional and thorough in the methodology and presentation of results.
