Faster insights. Better business decisions.


More than ever, it’s important to keep your finger on the pulse of what’s happening with your brand, your customers, and your competitors. That’s why SMG’s customized market intelligence tool BrandGeek is built to give you an immediate leg up with your brand research. It gives you a powerful, near real-time view into data on your customers and your competitors.

How it works


BrandGeek is fueled by SurveyMini®—SMG’s location-based mobile research app—which uses proprietary PinPoint TechnologyTM to detect when users visit mapped locations and triggers a short survey to their smartphones, allowing you to pair consumer feedback (what they think) with behavioral data (what they actually do).
