Research Services

Through years of surveying prospective students, leading focus groups with youth, parents, and educators, and conducting nation-wide studies on higher education, Academica Group has developed a clear and compelling understanding of your key stakeholders. We’re firm believers that truly effective integrated marketing communications must be based on a solid foundation of genuine insight from market research and sophisticated strategic thinking.

Our research specialists literally pioneered post-secondary consumer market research in Canada. We can offer rich and comprehensive insights based, not on anecdotes or a “sense” of what works, but on statistically reliable consumer studies and trend data. We have a massive data warehouse that can be queried for custom analysis, and also have a large pool of post-secondary applicants willing to participate in further research.

Our consultants are immersed in the world of education marketing – whether post-secondary student attitudes, behaviours, and the factors that influence their choice of institution, or public opinions, parent expectations, and teacher perceptions about elementary and secondary schools.
