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…

Ilka recently conducted a patient research project based on patient mini-groups for my company. I appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism on this project throughout the research. The moderating was excellent, and Ilka’s skills and flexibility enabled us to gain in-depth insights.

Ilka managed the German module of a major international qualitative project. Short time scales and the need for alignment in different markets meant constant changes until moments before the fieldwork. Thanks to Ilka’s professionalism, adaptability and attention to detail, the project ran extremely smoothly. They were well recruited and skilfully moderated groups – we would be very happy to work with Ilka next time we have an opportunity.

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…

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.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ilka and IKM on numerous occasions over the past 10 years. She has provided us with a true partnership for all our international studies. She has done top tier localizing of all our our studies to work in the German, French and UK markets to gain truly best in class research results. Ilka is an innovator when it comes to qualitative methods and I cannot think of someone I trust more to work with in the industry.

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.

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…
