The RP Project Management and Fieldwork team currently consists of over 30 project managers and fieldwork executives globally.

Our studies are typically multi-market, encompassing respondents in Europe, North America and Emerging Markets.

Each of our research projects will have a dedicated member of the Project Management or Fieldwork team embedded within the core project team for the full project lifecycle, providing project management expertise and guidance throughout, including taking ownership of client communications through the project lifecycle.
