make our clients fly. To accomplish this, we aim to have the best
researchers and strategists in-house.

R&D for research techniques and training internal staff on software and
research techniques in proportions appropriate to experience and abilities.
THE QUALIFICATIONS

focus on creativity and high quality. The successful candidate will embody

modelling techniques, such as conjoint analysis, choice modelling, BPTO,

software, such as SPSS and SAS, is crucial. Visual programming experience,
