Dial Testing Group vs Focus Group: How Are They Different?
Imagine you were giving a presentation, a legal argument or a speech, and wanted to understand how an audience felt about it.

Word Games: Putting a Method Behind the Words You Choose
In our line of work, we’re constantly reminded that words have a profound impact on how we form our opinions and preferences.
