Society Partners

Gray Research Solutions

We provide research on your customers, visitors, or constituents— the people important to your place or place of business. Our roots are in anthropology, the study of people and human behavior. Because of that, our perspective translates your consumers into living, breathing people who make decisions based on complex sets of reasoning resulting in complex sets of behavior. We simplify all this behavior and motivation down to the insights that matter most, so that you can create the marketing strategies that will bring you from good to great.

We offer a spectrum of research solutions depending on your budget, from mining existing data and databases for insights to more in-depth studies including surveys, intercepts, focus groups and forums, online exercises, and more.

Phoenix Printing

Phoenix Printing has grown steadily through the years along with three generations of Haddens.

For nearly 150 years, Phoenix has perfected all forms of printing. Now, with one foot firmly in technological convenience and the other in timeless craftsmanship, the union is exquisite quality.
