Thursday, July 16, 2009. Making a difference for Myrtle Beach. We spend a lot of time thinking about ways to make research truly actionable and how insights can make a real-world impact on a client’s business. And while much of the work we do provides important information and guidance, it’s not every day that we can see (and quantify) the direct economic results of research - as was the case in a recent project for Myrtle Beach. Were eye opening to say the least. Referencing the data from our study,...

Wednesday, April 16, 2008. Pop Culture Pulls in Major Bucks. By David Lieberman, USA TODAY. Entertainment and sports heroes had only a so-so year in 2007 if you look at traditional. Yardsticks such as sales of tickets and discs.

List of the top 100 licensing companies. And Wall-E —. About 44% of cash spent on lice...
