Testimonials

  • “I've collaborated with Evrima on well over a dozen challenging qualitative research projects across eight countries, involving cumulatively hundreds of participants. Aylin, Sarah, and their team bring an unparalleled level of depth and experience, particularly in our target region in Southeast Asia. Their on-the-ground market understanding, partnerships with excellent local vendors, and research methodology expertise are truly exceptional. For our most complex projects, Evrima was often the only company capable of handling the work. They consistently delivered, demonstrating great sensitivity to the often delicate topics that made recruitment for our projects especially challenging. From interim findings to final reports, they provided actionable recommendations with thorough market context that have made a significant impact over the years. Their ability to navigate difficult research scenarios while delivering high-quality results is remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend their services — they are simply the best in the field.”

    - Bree Roozen, Research and Digital Analytics Director, Radio Free Asia

  • “Working with Evrima on a project is always a pleasure. Regardless of the size or complexity of the individual project, Evrima takes the work seriously, communicates thoughtfully with the client throughout the course of the project, and executes the work with care. The rich and varied experience of the team leads them to create methodologies that yield insights that are substantive and actionable.”

    - Paul Tibbitts, Head of Strategy and Corporate Development, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty

  • "Evrima carried out fieldwork and analysis for several audience research projects I managed in the Arab world in recent years and consistently delivered exceptional results. Their deep technical expertise and international research experience were evident in every project. They built strong, capable local teams and devised creative solutions to keep work moving forward, even when unexpected challenges arose—such as when new regulations in Egypt required us to completely rethink our approach on a qualitative study. Their reports were clear, insightful, and impeccably written. Evrima is also good-humored, collaborative, and a genuine pleasure to work with. I recommend them without reservation."

    Diana Turecek, Former Senior Director of Research and Program Review, The Middle East Broadcasting Networks

  • "Evrima is one of the most meticulous partners that [imas] has had in its 25 years of activity in the research market of the Republic of Moldova. From the initial presentation of each project to the follow-up questions regarding the data and technical reports, we have observed an extraordinary attention to detail. Regardless of the complexity of the studies, we have consistently found genuine methodological expertise and a deep understanding of the social and value context of our country. Consequently, this has resulted in very well-contextualized sociological instruments. The Evrima team has been present in Moldova for every research project — not only to monitor and evaluate the working procedures at the central office, but also to be on the ground during surveys and focus groups. Many of their recommendations and suggestions have, over the years, become part of our current working standards, helping us grow and raise the quality benchmark of the data we deliver."
