Limelight Insights

A Next-Generation Shugoll Company

Beyond the family name
lies a tradition of
excellence in market research.

Limelight Insights is a next-generation Shugoll company brought to you by:

  • Cara Shugoll Wilken, a third-generation Shugoll market researcher who has proudly followed in the footsteps of her grandmother (Joan Shugoll) and parents (Mark and Merrill Shugoll)
  • Rick Seale, a VIP of the market research industry for over 25 years

Limelight Insights was developed to serve the ever-changing needs and demands of the marketing research industry, with a renewed focus on online marketing research. As it has become more challenging, risky, and expensive for researchers, clients, and participants alike to engage in in-person research, Limelight Insights has taken online research to the next level by deploying what has already become an industry-leading, video qualitative research platform called Limelight.

In addition to the Limelight platform, Limelight Insights offers:

  • Recruiting
  • Project management
  • Facility rental services and coordination in the DC area as well as around the country though our partnerships with local focus group facilities and sourcing non-traditional spaces for ideation sessions and brainstorming workshops
  • Full-service marketing research consulting services for both qualitative and quantitative research

In continuing the Shugoll family marketing research legacy, the Limelight Insights difference is EPIC.
