The PennZone

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. - PennZone -- RAI was founded over 35 years ago and has grown to over 14 offices nationally with 300+ researchers. Mr. Porter also confirmed that Research America and the Institute have been collaborative partners for the past few years. We have always shared a consistent vision for the Health and Sustainability consumer, and have dozens of high growth clients in common. So this announcement is a natural evolution of that strong alignment. By bringing together innovative leaders in Market Research and Consumer Insights & Solutions, we are better positioned than ever to help B2B and CPG marketers acquire, grow and retain customers.

Maryellen Molyneaux, Natural Marketing Institute Managing Partner, confirmed that since 1990 the Institute has conducted and trended Global Consumer Research specializing in Health and Sustainability in 30+ countries.  Our Institute team members will now further complement RAI's capabilities with the Institute's additional Strategic Consulting Services, Proprietary Custom Methodologies, Syndicated Databases, and much more.
