Research LampPost Market Research Surveys

In 1995 Duncan Brett (Duncan Brett Consulting www.dbc.co.za), Arthur Mzozoyana and Charlene Davids (Roots Research), and Mark Webb (TargetLink Research) decided to share offices and resources at our first premises in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town. Since then we’ve been sharing resources, ideas and working together to provide the best market research we possibly can.

In 1998 we moved to our current offices in Mowbray, Cape Town.

2002 was a notable year, in that we launched our own custom built computer aided telephone interviewing system (CATI), and early in 2005 conducted over 1000 interviews in a single day for the first time.

In 2003 we formed The Research LampPost to enable us to provide a full suite of market research services under one entity. Altogether we have 16 full-time staff from hugely diverse backgrounds which truly reflect the South Africa we live in today.

In addition we have built up a database of telephone interviewers, mystery shoppers, and market research field interviewers, and in some instances networked with local field agencies, so that we are able to conduct research projects anywhere in South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana, both urban and rural.
