At 16h00 (CET) on the last day of the Festival of NewMR (Nov 4th), the top 6 ideas in the Insight Innovation Competition are presented and voted for by the audience and the jury.
The Leonard Murphy’s Insight Innovation Competition highlighting fresh ideas to provoke change in market research, business intelligence and consumer insights industries. The Insight Innovation Competition will give privately-owned businesses and start-ups the chance to demonstrate their unique product and service ideas.
The Swedish MR Software company Cint is among the sponsors and Bo Mattsson, CEO of Cint, is among the jury together with five other directors from Vision Critical, Survey Analytics, TNS, AVERY DENNISON ZWECKFORM and Blizzard Entertainment.
“The market research industry is in desperate need of innovation. We need to identify people or firms that are thinking differently and have innovative solutions to the issues we’re trying to reconcile within the industry. We need to be able to fund these firms and give them access to experienced professionals that can help them be successful. Those three factors have driven GreenBook and NewMR to create the Insight Innovation Competition. The generous sponsorship of Cint and others will make it possible to find, develop and support the types of ideas we need to prosper in the future,” stresses Murphy, editor‐in‐chief and principal consultant at GreenBook.
On November 4th the finalists will present their concepts to a panel of judges comprised of sponsors of the competition in a live virtual event. Think an online version of “Shark Tank” or “Dragon’s Den“.
Each presentation will last 15 minute: 10 minutes to pitch and 5 minutes for Q&A from the judges.
Using a 10 point scale for each category, judges rate each presentation on:
• Originality of concept
• Presentation quality
• Market potential
• Scalability
• Ease of Implementation
After the presentations are complete, the audience will vote for the best pitch and factor the vote score into the judge scores.
The highest final score wins. The winner takes home the pot and chooses which of the judges they would like to engage with afterwards as a mentor.
