Research

We’re always digging deeper, probing further. Our unparalleled research capabilities uncover critical information about your corporate context and your community landscape—the first step in laying the groundwork for successful collaboration.

Armed with extraordinary expertise and an extensive suite of tools and technology, we take research to the next level. These advantages push our discovery and analysis past the average research partners’—ensuring that you don’t just get more data but also the right data.

Because at Ichor, we’re not only fact finders or number crunchers. We’re true strategists—turning raw insights into implementable plans that help your business succeed.

Through research, we help you:

  • Cultivate more knowledge about the communities you work in

  • Better understand the nuances of your own obstacles, pain points, and opportunities

  • Inform strategies that generate greater impact and more profitable outcomes

Local market research & reporting

From launching a product in a niche market to expanding your business to a broader locale: no matter the task at hand, it should always begin with superior research. We offer an in-depth view of the political, socioeconomic, and industry environments within the neighborhoods and cities in which you work.


GIS mapping technology

With our geographic information system (GIS) technology and expertise, we can plot public and industry data against location references. Which means that we can find rich patterns, see trends, and map out how it all connects across the places where you work.


Government policy & analysis

We help you put your policy into practice by delivering crucial insights that guide its success. Our hyper-local analysis identifies the unique pain points that impact outcomes. Whether we’re conducting interviews with senior leaders and third-party experts, mapping the neighborhoods whose support is essential to promoting or passing your agenda, or researching the results of your program in specific markets: our goal is to discover what makes your policy resonate—and prioritize actionable initiatives.


Issue research & monitoring

With our corporate and political campaign experience, we intrinsically understand how to monitor contentious or continuously evolving situations—keeping you on top of the most important developments and delivering strategies that reflect what’s happening in real time.
