Market Research
Data-driven insights that inform go-to-market decisions with real signal, not assumption.
Most go-to-market decisions are made on opinion dressed as strategy.
Personas built from internal assumptions. Positioning tested against the team, not the market. Competitive analysis assembled from a few LinkedIn searches. Market research changes that - replacing assumption with data collected from the places where your buyers actually behave, and delivering findings specific enough to act on rather than file.
Our Approach
We conduct market research with a specific decision in mind: what does the client need to know to make a better call on positioning, channel investment, or ICP definition?
That means research designed around the question, not a template report. Methods depend on the decision - primary research for buyer behavior, competitive intelligence for positioning, data analysis for market sizing. Output is always findings and recommendations, not just data.

Contact Us"With two weeks left to kick off an event I was hosting, I needed a way to track my registrants and provide them event details in a way that stood out. My goal was 30 registrants. I contacted Phil at Tactical Marketing who scheduled a scoping call the following day. We met at 9am and by 5pm that same day I had a beautiful landing page with registration form delivered to me. The final registration count was 31 registrants. I would recommend Tactical to any business requiring expertise and efficiency in their marketing efforts."
What We Do in Market Research
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you identify what's actually broken versus what just looks broken?
We audit systematically - program logic, trigger conditions, data sync behavior, and the integration layer - rather than reacting to surface symptoms. Most environments have failures that aren't visible in the platform UI at all.
How long does an audit or repair engagement typically take?
A thorough audit runs 2–3 weeks. A structured repair or rebuild depends on the depth of the technical debt - most range from 4–10 weeks. We scope each engagement after the initial audit so you know what you're committing to.
Do you provide ongoing management after the repair work is done?
Often, yes. Many clients transition into a managed services arrangement where Tactical Marketing handles ongoing administration, governance, and platform maintenance. Others prefer to hand back to an internal team - in which case we document everything and run a formal knowledge transfer.
