Working with Research Director is an essential part of our ratings month. Whenever we want to go deeper than the initial numbers, Steve and his team are the first place we turn. It goes without saying that ratings can be a frustrating process, having a team that can help you drill down to why things are happening is invaluable.

There isn’t any other company, including Nielsen, that delivers this information in a timely, succinct, beautifully crafted, and well-presented way. Research Director does a better job of crunching numbers and showing this data than Nielsen. They explain what happens in a rating book in the greatest detail and with the fastest speed that even a C-grade student can understand.
