“Lodestar's research work is unique within our industry.  Every study offers genuine new insight and a recommended plan for action.  We make 'bet the farm' decisions across our portfolio of B2B magazine brands based on their analyses and recommendations."
 
CEO
Privately-Held Media & Publishing Firm
 

"I've sat through customer research presentations for nearly 20 years with decidedly mixed results.  In contrast, the results of Lodestar's recent work were riveting.  It’s not every day that I can say, ‘I learned something new about my business today’, but I could after their recent working session with our team.”

“We’ve worked with Lodestar for over 10 years now on a variety of issues – customer insights, new product development, industry future forecasting, competitive intelligence, and strategic planning.  Their people and their work are consistently outstanding. They interface seamlessly with our managers and directors such that I really think of them members of our team.”
 
EVP, Group Publisher
Media & Publishing Company
 

“Lodestar recently looked at our brand positioning and go-to-market strategies.  The interdisciplinary make up of their engagement team was an asset.  Their recommendations were evidence-based, not just opinion.  And, they gave us an integrated game plan for moving forward and measuring results as we go.  No question, we will reach out to them again in the future.”
