For over two decades, Global Research has empowered evidence-based decisions through independent, high-quality social and market research for government and business.
Our expert team of 15 researchers works with central and local government organisations, businesses, and NGOs to uncover actionable insights, understand complex issues, and measure real-world behaviour, trends, and change.
Our research design and delivery is global in scope and comprehensive in approach. We specialise in public consultation/engagement submission analysis, customer and stakeholder research, behavioural insights, evaluations, and market understanding. Whether informing national or local policies or business decisions, we prepare evidence-backed insights to inform smarter decisions.
Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, we perform under time pressure, and work both nationally and internationally for a wide range of sectors.

Client testimonials
“Global Research has helped City of Melbourne with over 13 projects over the last four years [60 by 2024]. Their commitment to reading, understanding and analysing every word and sentiment shared by the community ensures everyone is heard and nothing is missed.
Their reports provide high quality, easy-to-understand summaries, visual representations and quotes. These reports are well regarded by staff and Councillors, and have consistently influenced the direction of our work and improved Council decision making.
The reports are often published on our online platform and community can see how their input has influenced projects and policies.”
“Faced with an urgent need to undertake public consultation as a result of a new Government’s coalition commitments, Global Research helped the Department of Internal Affairs to complete the consultation exercise effectively and in good time.
Global leveraged existing infrastructure and expertise from a related project to provide the Department with an end-to-end consultation package. Global were flexible and responsive during the process, and they took great care to provide clear and robust analysis of the consultation results, making it easier for the Department to incorporate those results into the broader information and advice provided to the Government.”
“Gehl Architects found Global Research to be very professional and dedicated in investigating the survey material. Global Research was flexible and accommodating in terms of deliveries and deadlines, and provided valuable interpretation of the data.
The output was well formulated and responded to all our questions, and Global Research were even able to translate replies from Norwegian into English.
We are happy to recommend Global Research to others in need of data and survey processing, and look forward to the continued collaboration.”
