Research agency DirectResearch

The Amsterdam-based market research agency DirectResearch merged with its sister companies, Markteffect, as of January 1, 2025, operating under the unified name Markteffect. Since 2019, both entities had engaged in increasingly intensive collaboration. To ensure continued relevance for our clients, the strategic decision was made to proceed as a single brand. This integration allows us to combine the strengths of both organizations, solidifying our position as a trusted partner in market research. Read all about it here.
