During my tenure as a marketing research professional at IBRC and the High View Consulting Group, Ilka has provided very effective qualitative research services in the various European countries. These services have included very specific recruitment efforts, custom tailored facility preparations, translations and exceptional moderating. I am very satisfied with the partnership that we have developed during the past eight years and I expect to continue this partnership well into the fu…

When Rebecca first proposed her Think Global colleagues for a multi-country project, I was concerned about using independent researchers in each country  that were not as familiar with our business needs and our internal corporate culture.  However, after a series of discussions and conference calls between all research firms, the actual execution of the plan was seamless.  I not only experienced personal attention from the principal in each country, but each principal flawlessly aided in nav…

We had a very efficient and pleasant collaboration with IKM. Thanks to Ilka’s professionalism, dedication and finesse, a French-German brand identity research could be very successfully and beautifully achieved.

We are looking at the bulletins and are fascinated. The results nicely fit into the observations of the focus groups and our meetings – while giving an even more differentiated perspective on our customers’ opinions (everyone ‘gets a say’ and can phrase considerate responses). As you notice: I have become a fan of this method straight away.

With Ilka Kuhagen’s professionalism, experience and preparation, the research results could be achieved very smoothly. She has the ability to moderate a group so there are dynamic discussions with each member given a chance to voice his/her opinion

IKM is our go-to research company in Germany. Ilka is a supurb moderator with stellar attention to detail. She provides great insights and a witty sense of humor!

Ilka Kuhagen was our lead bilingual consultant of the Dermatology Quality of Life Measurement Design Team at Pfizer Inc. Over the course of a year-long multi-lingual measurement design project, she consistently met project timelines and exceeded all expectations for project deliverables. Her expertise with Internet-based focus group methodologies was essential for the success of our project, and her professional dedication was amply demonstrated, culminating in a journal article we co-…

Ilka is very professional to work with. She double checks the materials, makes sure everything is running how it should, takes initiative (eg. mailing inactive participants) and she definitely goes the extra mile. From early meetings to late night work and calls. The really nice thing about working with Ilka is that she thinks along with you and tries to achieve the best result together with you. Ilka is also nice to work with because of her positive mindset. She’s always smiling (at…

Ilka was amazingly accommodating and hospitable. We had many unique requests and she took great care of us. While performing our Usability Research, she did a great job of getting to the information we needed, and her qualitative insights helped us immensely. I would love to have the opportunity to work with her again.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Ilka Kuhagen at the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)on a special competitive intelligence / market research project. Ilka did a great job of providing an insightful and concise summary of her findings that helped the client make educated decisions about their overall business and the direction to take it. She was a terrific person to have on our team.
