Audience Research
LabX partnered with Slover Linett Audience Research to design and implement a national survey investigating the interests, actions, and perceptions of young adults, both in general and in relation to science, to determine how (if at all) science fits, and could fit, in their world.
What it's like working with us
That was super fun. Chris and the comedians were fantastic. Also, you and others did a great job of running things, giving me timely information, and altogether making it an easy and pleasant experience, especially because I know running things like this is not easy.
"It was an incredibly positive experience! The crew were all so kind and professional, making the whole experience a lot of fun. I appreciated the time everyone spent making sure my story was captured in a way that felt authentic."
"The team was creative (had great ideas for the piece), were very receptive to my inputs, were very accommodating of my schedule, and were super friendly to work with both during the process and on the day of filming. I had a really, really good time doing this."
