The Difference
What makes us different?
The name is a clue: ‘amárach’ is Gaelic for ‘tomorrow’.
Too much research looks in the rear-view mirror. At best, such research tells us what’s happening; at worst, what’s already happened. We use market research to look ahead – to what will happen.
We’ve been looking ahead since the 1990s. We work hard alongside our clients to maximise the ROR of their spend. Our team of young enthusiasts and seasoned professionals has lots of practice unlocking the future for our clients. We embrace change, innovation, and opportunity like no other agency in Ireland. We share our own ideas and insights through social media, our ezine, and other sources – providing unparalleled insight into the mood and intentions of consumers and businesses.
We work with our clients to maximise the ROR of their spend with Amárach: ‘return on research’.
Better Insights for Better Decisions

Over the past 30 years, Amárach has developed a depth of expertise in specific sectors and with specific research solutions.
We have a simple philosophy about the role of market research: better insights help you make better decisions. Our goal at Amárach is to help our clients succeed and grow through a better understanding of their customers’ needs.
Through surveys, focus groups, econometrics, workshops, and social media analysis we discover the right answers to our clients’ important questions. But it doesn’t stop there.
We have formed unique partnerships with clients and agencies (including advertising, PR, and social media agencies) to turn research into a tool for connecting brands to customers. We are proactive, not reactive.
Let our solutions help you secure future success.

Experience
Let's keep this brief.
Here are the seven reasons you should use Amárach to do your research

We don't just do insight: we do foresight (research that's future-proof)

We measure what matters, not what's easy to measure (research that's relevant)

We're small enough to care, big enough to deliver (research that's tailored)

We tell you what we think, not what you want to hear (research that's authentic)

We're business people who do research, not researchers who ended up in business (research that's commercial)

We deliver great value, but not on the cheap (research that maximises return on investment)

We won't waste your time or your money if we think it's better spent elsewhere (research that's the best available)
