Austin Market Research, Inc. came into existence in 2001 when a group of entrepreneurial qualitative market research professionals got together and decided to fill the void left by the closure of First Market Research Corporation in Texas. These professionals came from First Market Research, bringing with them years of experience and an infinite knowledge of the industry. The result is a company that provides unparalleled service at the most cost-effective rates. We welcome the opportunity to handle your project and prove to you why we are the best. Whatever your needs may be, Austin Market Research is at your service.

We take immense pride in our staff's professionalism and experience in the industry, and in the great city that we live in. Along with the combination of our dedicated, professional staff, and the excellent cross-section that a diversified city like Austin provides, we can handle any and all of your qualitative market research needs. There is no job too large or too small to garner out complete attention and devotion to excellence.
