Thea Research’s goal is to exceed the expectations of European qualitative marketing research companies at each step of their projects, from recruiting to moderation and report.
We chose Thea, Greek Titan Goddess of Sight, to symbolize our vision of qualitative marketing research. Thea gave birth to light in its three main forms : sun (Helios), moon (Selene) and dawn (Eos). She also endowed gold, silver and gems with their brilliance and value.
