Here's what some previous winners have said about winning the Most Innovative Approach Award:
"Winning was a great honour, and I hope it encourages more people to submit their work for an award next year. I think that the secret lies not only in understanding what information can be generated from a customer group, but more importantly understanding how to demonstrate clearly to the business (and an awards judging panel!) precisely what the value of the research was". Michael Goff, Pfizer Ltd.
“Our dataset of over 100 million CGM sources is used by companies across the globe because they recognize the incredible value in harnessing this content to learn about and improve their products. Regulations have made it difficult for prescription healthcare companies to harness this type of research so we worked with Pfizer’s brand and market research teams, the Drug Safety Group and legal teams to establish a methodology that enabled Pfizer to monitor this content and, consequently, improve their strategy, marketing, consumer insights, and many other critical parts of the business.” Brad Little, Nielsen Online.
