The Brass Tacks

The Vendor Selection

There are hundreds of partners out there, how do you know who to use? Our clients rely on us to know who to use and why. Setting a study up from the start, with the correct partners, will ultimately save you time and money. With our global network of vetted partners in-place, we can recruit practically any audience worldwide (even the audiences that you’ve been told that nobody can find!). We have a reputation of being able to find the ‘un-findable’; the challenge is always accepted! Let’s see what we can do for you!

Screeners

Let us un-puzzle the screener! We take pride in spending time to create thorough screeners; we feel strongly that you can’t recruit great respondents without a great screener. From completing a review of the ‘big picture’ study objectives to digging into the nitty gritty specs, we genuinely enjoy drafting screeners (weird but TRUE!). Our tried-and-true screener-writing techniques are some of the best in the business! Send us the specs and the overall goals of the research and let us draft a screener for you.

Respondent Management

You already have a screener, calls have been made and the participants are lined up. Now it’s time to make sure you get the right people in the right place at the right time! Whether it’s ensuring respondents have logged into their webcam interviews on time (and in a well-lit setting, with a mic and webcam that work, etc.), or making sure the respondent knows what to expect for a shop-along (what you look like, where to meet, who to call if they’re running late, etc.), we have you covered. We are expert cat herders!

International

75% of our work involves conducting fieldwork in markets outside the US. Based on our combined 50+ years of experience, we know who to use and why. Our vetted global network allows us to effectively manage translations, timelines of deliverables, and hire moderators and translators. Our foresight untangles the demanding logistics presented by conducted global research; our goal is to set your study up for success right from the start. Let us help you shine!

Online Programming /
Management

We aren’t scaredy cats! With several on our team who have experience programming complex quant surveys, we take pride in being able to adapt our skills to any software or platform. Additionally, our team truly sees and values the ‘big picture’ when it comes to guide programming; we work closely with you to adapt your written guide into a user-friendly, immersive experience for respondents. From programming online discussion guides to managing respondents directly in the platform, we’ve got you covered to ensure you get the results (and completes) you need.

Invoicing

Fieldcats takes on bidding out and assessing feasibility on studies, providing you with one comprehensive proposal for the entire study. We manage all vendor invoicing and streamline the invoicing process for you. With our fixed pricing we make sure your project comes in at or below budget every time.

Embracing the Non-Traditional in Pharma

Fieldcats is known for making the ‘impossible’ possible! If your research design has you feeling adventurous and living on the wild side, we’re here to help! Some examples of non-traditional studies we have assisted with:

These studies involved recruiting physicians for in-office interviews, hiring actors to play the part of a patient, and setting up interviews (among the actor, HCP and moderator) to conduct message testing of a new potential product.

We earned kudos for delivering on the ‘undeliverable’ with this study! The ask was to recruit transgender HIV positive consumers for in-home interviews in specific US states, with a large portion residing in rural areas. While challenging, this study offered us the opportunity to hone our skills in finding hard-to-reach audiences.

Consisting of biweekly check-ins and activities with patients to discuss a chronic illness. Fieldcats assisted with programming biweekly discussion guides, engaging with respondents online to remind them to participate in the new week’s activity, monitoring participation throughout the year, working with recruitment partners to ensure all participants completed their activities, and sending honoraria (and bonuses) throughout the year as needed.
