Services Included: Social Impact Research. Usage and Attitude Survey. Segmentation and Profiling.

Methodology: Online quantitative survey of 14,433 members of the gym going public on the impact of gym closures.

Outcome: “10 THOUSAND FEET’S approach enabled us to get the greatest amount of survey responses we’ve ever had, which drove credibility for the study.  The clear and concise information provided in the reporting positively impacted AUSactive’s advocacy narrative. The associated credibility it gave our organisation with media and government stakeholders at time when we were relatively unknown to stakeholders outside of the gym/fitness industry was significant. As a result, it had a strong strategic impact on the advocacy work we were doing at the time to successfully get gyms reopened. The research project also made us realise the importance of data driven decisions and since then we definitely use this a lot more.”
