More than ever research businesses and in-house teams need to demonstrate the value that their insight brings, both at a strategic level and to the bottom line. 

Last year saw high-quality entries in the much-coveted Best Agency, Best New Agency and Best Place to Work categories as research businesses sought industry recognition for their outstanding work in the face of recession. We expect the same high standards in 2010.

This year, for the first time, we will showcase the exceptional work carried out clientside and introduce a new category, Best In-house Research Team, aimed at rewarding those teams making a real impact within their organisations. In addition, and in recognition of increasing calls from research users for innovation and new thinking, we will be presenting an award for Best Innovation.

These two new categories will reinforce the already strong Research magazine awards line up and we look forward to receiving a bumper crop of inspiring entries.
