How We Help

Answers that empower decision makers

Good research starts with good questions. We’re here to help ensure your project delivers unbiased results you can act on.

Hear from representative respondents

We employ a range of sampling modes—from online, panel, phone and direct mail—so you hear from the right people.

Understand your distinct constituents

Using advanced data modeling, we provide insights for the small geographic regions that matter such as specific stakeholders, ridings or communities.

See the connections

Our reporting and dashboards empower you to take action with confidence. We offer bespoke reporting and dashboard options that make insights easy to access and share.

Focus Groups + Interviews

Hard-to-Reach Survey Sample

High quality data is imperative to all forms of research. With declining phone response rates and limited sample size available through online panels, it can be impossible to get quality data for small geographic areas and hard-to-reach populations.

RA2 provides samples of hard to reach and underrepresented populations through controlled, random sampling of online web traffic. Using this method, we can provide sample for hard to access groups such as:

  • Specific political ridings or districts
  • Small geographies such as secondary cities
  • Specific ethnic or visible minority populations
  • Gen Z, Millennials and cord-cutters
