About Emporia Research

Emporia enables research, product and strategy teams to reach LinkedIn‑verified B2B professionals at speed. Programmatic recruitment, third‑party identity verification, scheduling, and incentive management come together to deliver analysis‑ready data for quant and qual—driving up to a 92.5% reduction in data scrubbing across programs when compared to traditional panel suppliers.

The Situation

As Quickbase advanced its next wave of AI capabilities, the team needed validated signal from real operators and decision-makers on what  mattered most: the use cases delivering meaningful value, the features shaping competitive evalutation, and where willingness-to-pay existed across priority industries.. 

The Process

Programmatic recruitment to spec

Working with Quickbase’s ideal customer profiles, Emporia used programmatic sourcing to reach exact-match, LinkedIn‑verified decision‑maker profiles at services firms across business & professional services, construction, and energy. Targeting aligned to seniority, budget authority, platform experience, and operational responsibility. Dynamic quotas ensured balanced coverage by role, industry, and geography.

Purpose‑built screening and build

Screeners and firmographic criteria were co-developed to ensure each respondent represented the intended buyer segment. Emporia’s quality controls, including identity verification, attentiveness checks, and device duplication, kept the dataset clean without slowing fielding.  

Expert sample and clean handoff

Emporia recruited and verified 97 experts who met the criteria. Deliverables included respondent‑level metadata (role/seniority, organization, sector, location), a transparent verification log, and recontact tokens where permitted—plus end‑to‑end incentive management and respondent availability for follow‑ups.
