Welcome to Nova Insights!

Nova Insights is a full-service market research and evidence-based consulting firm providing qualitative and quantitative research services to organizations across Canada and the United States.

We go beyond just reporting the data - we dig deep into the findings using our experience and advanced interpretive and analytic skills to tell the story behind the data.

Being able to uncover the story starts with thorough, well-crafted, and creative approaches to interview design.  We have decades of experience in this that grows with every project.  

Once we have a quality instrument, our robust data collection and in-depth analyses provide us with the information we need to formulate the story.

We are skilled at presenting the story in a graphically pleasing way.  We use just enough to enhance and illustrate, but not overpower the message.

From customer or employee engagement surveys to membership or general market surveys, Nova Insights helps organizations understand their audience by providing reliable evidence through sophisticated analytic techniques with interpretation that can be understood and acted upon.


Nova Insights provides full-service research to a broad range of clients, but also serves as the "researcher's researcher" by supporting others in the field with their projects.  This may be robust data collection, report writing, or consultation on design.
