We are proud to announce that EyeSee’s work for Microsoft was recognized as the Global Market Research project of the year at the Marketing Research and Insight Excellence Awards by Quirk’s!

After entering the finals in three categories, EyeSee and Microsoft won the Global MR project award for work on Digital Shopper Experience study. Special congratulations to Microsoft’s Senior Manager of Customer and Market Research, Pinal Mehta, who took the lead on the impactful worldwide research project.

Olivier Tilleuil, EyeSee’s CEO and Founder, was delighted about this particular project winning the award: “We are honored that our dedication, agility, and global scope yielded insights of significance for the Microsoft ecosystem worldwide. This recognition is a true fulfillment of our mission: Making behavioral data accessible to unlock next-level insights for our clients. We couldn’t have done it with our great digital team lead by Mirna and Maja.”
