Our Approach

As your trusted financial services marketing research partner, we tenaciously pursue answers to your most important business questions, opening doors to the possible.

Our Approach to Partnering with You

We’ve been in your shoes

We are not lifelong consultants. We’ve been in your shoes at firms such as Fidelity Investments, LPL Financial, and Northwestern Mutual, and we know the frustration of working with providers who do not have a strong understanding of your business/industry.

All projects have senior 8 Acre industry experts involved from start to finish. We bring a rich understanding of the market you compete in and are committed to learning the unique context of your business. Thoughtful dialog between our external and your internal perspectives yields a unique synergy with more impactful results.

Extension of your team

Thought partner

Our partnership doesn’t end with delivery of a final report. We aim to be your go-to thought partner when it comes to identifying the strategic implications of research insights, problem-solving, and brainstorming possibilities. We’ve built longstanding relationships with a wide range of great companies, and we’d love yours to be next!
What Our Clients Are Saying

Over more than ten years of collaboration on product design and packaging research, establishing a national brand tracking survey, and developing and executing research-based thought-leadership programs, Jim Neuwirth and his staff have proven to be invaluable partners. They hit the ground running on every project and bring objective insights before the research has even begun. I highly recommend 8 Acre Perspective to business leaders seeking a solid research partner.
