About Chris Hawkes
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can help people to understand whether or not market research might help them address the business decisions that they are facing. I can also help them consider the different types of research that might be appropriate in their situation, and can help them estimate the costs of the different methdologies, and the pros and cons of each approach.

Experience
I've worked in a Fortune 500 company, as a market researcher for the last 8 years. I've managed dozens of qualitative and quantitative market research. I've conducted extensive market research in the US, and in over 20 other countries around the world as well.

Organizations
American Marketing Association

Publications
MarketResearch101.com and EzineArticles.

Education/Credentials
I have a degree in Finance, which I realy haven't ever used, except to try to understand how my mortgage payments were calculated.
