The Sector's Leading
Research Consultancy

At Membership Matters, we exclusively work with membership organisations, allowing us to develop sector-specific methodologies and design effective solutions that reflect the distinct complexities and challenges faced by associations today.

Our unique position as a combined research consultancy offers a host of advantages, forming the strategic pillars that make us the membership sector’s leading research consultancy.

1. Effective stakeholder management: Our design thinking methodology and consultancy approach is centred around our clients, with effective stakeholder mapping, alignment and the development of engagement plans, ensuring collaboration, input and buy-in throughout.
2. Expertise integration: We have multidisciplinary teams with experts from various fields such as research methodologies, data analysis, strategy development, digital, and implementation. This integration of diverse expertise enhances the quality and effectiveness of our processes and services.
3. Reaching the hard to reach: While reaching respondents, particularly the hard-to-reach, can be challenging, Membership Matters boasts a compelling track record of breaking research engagement rates with our clients.
4. Seamless transition: By offering both research and consultancy services under one roof, we enable a seamless transition from the research phase to implementation, translating findings into actionable strategies and solutions.
5. Practical recommendations: In addition to research findings, we provide practical recommendations and insights that take into account your organisation’s resources and capability, with bespoke solutions that go beyond the traditional role of a research agency.
