MRX Lab Podcast: Exploring the Fringes of Market Research

Written by Chris Martin | 15 July

Welcome to the home of the MRX Lab podcast from FlexMR. Created for market research and insight professionals, this podcast zigs where others zag. We don't feature the latest trends and hottest topics. The MRX Lab examines how research and insight plays a role in shaping the big ideas in our lives. We want to shine a light on the most insightful stories, empowering data and radical ideas in our sector.

The show, hosted by FlexMR Chief Marketing Officer, Chris Martin, is now well into its fourth season. Over the course of previous seasons, we explored a diverse array of topics, including the role of software developers in shaping the market research industry, memes as a language for visual communication, applying journalistic principles and what researchers can learn from economic models.

We know insight professionals lead busy lives. That's why every episode is thirty minutes or less, so you can easily learn more about emerging and intriguing topics on the fringes of the insights industry in bite-sized chunks. New episodes are released once per month, and season four is due to run until the end of 2023.

From time to time, we feature experts from agency, academic and client-side backgrounds. Our guests on season two have included Dan Siddle - Senior Consumer and Brand Insights Manager for Molson Coors, Gareth Bowden - Operations Team Manager at FlexMR and more.
