SmithGeiger is an international market research and strategy firm > Solutions

redefining market research

Watch, read, and listen have morphed into a landscape of real time participation. We like, tweet, share, Facebook, Google+, comment, Instagram, and Link-in. We DVR, download, Hulu, view-on-demand, binge view, and ultimately expect that the right content will find us - anytime, any place.

Consistent with our history as the leader in research innovation, SmithGeiger leverages this trend with our proprietary Virtual Tag Along and SocialTV apps. We also offer real-time social media reporting through the ShareRocket platform

Digital Ethnography (Virtual Tag Along)
Social TV
Social Media Ratings Platform

Virtual Tag Along (VTA) enables us to monitor the mobile device usage of respondents. We can identify precisely when, where, and how consumers and audiences view and interact with content, products, and services - in real time. Our VTA technology enables us to interact with questions and prompts at any point in the engagement.

SmithGeiger’s SocialTV App empowers us to track behaviors relative to specific shows and advertisements. Once downloaded, the app automatically detects what show or ad is being viewed. Respondents don’t need to perform any action other than enabling the app or responding to a brief multi-poll survey when applicable.

Using ShareRocket’s Social Media Ratings Platform, our partners can track engagement and social equity in real-time. With a single click, you can access the “social” history of any initiative. Scores are ranked and presented visually on a web-based dashboard, providing you with unprecedented insights into campaign effectiveness and overall social media performance.
