Downtown Chicago

Our Downtown facility is located in the heart of River North. With spectacular views of the city, we are within walking distance to the best restaurants, stores, and hotels Chicago has to offer.

From our newly renovated loft-style creative suite to one of the biggest focus group suites in the downtown area. We are able to accommodate any type of your research needs.
Staying ahead of the research curve, our newly renovated loft suite stays away from traditional research. With whiteboards, open ceilings, and non-traditional space we welcome creative thinking from both our clients and consumers. We look forward to hosting you at our Chicago office.
