History

Established in 2001.

Austin Market Research, Inc. came into existence in 2001 when Shawn Patton and a group of entrepreneurial qualitative market research professionals got together and decided to fill the void left by the closure of First Market Research Corporation in Texas. Each of these individuals came from First Market Research, bringing with them years of experience and an infinite knowledge of the industry. The result is a company that provides unparalleled service at the most cost-​effective rates. The company’s organizational structure has evolved over the years, yet the quality of service has remained constant and of high caliber. We welcome the opportunity to handle your project and prove to you why we are the best. Whatever your needs may be, Austin Market Research is at your service.

We take immense pride in our staff’s professionalism and experience in the industry, and in the great city that we live in.

She began as a quantitative research interviewer and eventually moved on to qualitative research, which is where most of her experience lies.

When the qualitative department at First Market Research expanded, Shawn was promoted to Assistant Director of Focus Groups and ultimately became the Director of Qualitative Research.

Shawn’s breadth of experience working with projects from their inception to completion gives her the insight needed to proactively ensure the success of any project, regardless of its difficulty. Her knowledge also gives her the ability to provide lower costs to the client while still maintaining profitability and achieving higher growth.
