Practicing what we preach

We believe the brands that succeed are those that stay close to customers and build a culture of informed decision making. That is the fundamental principle behind the FlexMR Client Advisory Board and the driving force of our continued growth.

The FlexMR Client Advisory Board is comprised of senior insight professionals who are united in the pursuit of better partnerships. The board represents a diverse range of sectors and research interests. Each member brings valuable perspective on the insights industry, future challenges and emerging opportunities. These opinions, perspectives and input are fed directly into our management team and guide our strategic decisions. Here are the current board members.

A simple, powerful goal

The FlexMR Client Advisory Board has been set up to facilitate a two-way dialogue between the FlexMR senior management team and representatives of our clients. It is designed to help us become a better partner to all.

Client success is at the heart of what we do. In order to empower research teams across the globe, we must be in tune with their needs, hopes and desires. We strive to become true insight partners to all those we work with. That goal is baked into the core of our operations. We offer regular client success meetings, on-demand access our knowledgeable Client Support Desk and more. The FlexMR Client Advisory Board is an extension of that goal. Here's how it works.

Client Advisory Board objectives

All members are united in the goal of building better working client-agency relationships and helping the FlexMR team deliver more impactful products and services that ultimately affect business outcomes. The advisory board meets in-person two times per year, in addition to attending up to two online roundtables. We ask that members commit to attending a minimum of two meetings, chaired by our CEO, in order to facilitate productive, group discussions. We feed conversations and insights from meetings directly into strategic decisions about how we can better serve our clients. We ask all members of the board to be engaged with this process.

Client Advisory Board membership

The FlexMR Client Advisory Board has a minimum quorum of two members. Members are all current FlexMR clients with an active presence within the insights industry and an up-to-date knowledge of important trends impacting the sector. We aim to represent a diverse set of industries and research interests through the board. Membership is reviewed twice per year. For more information on activities, commitments and expressing interest in joining - please see the following introductory deck.
