Another year, another amazing celebration! 🎉 Among very stiff competition, we are so proud to take home the 2023 Market Research Society (MRS) Operations Award for 'Best Support Services', sponsored by Criteria Fieldwork 🏆 If you're not convinced, have a look at the huge smiles on Ruth Partington, John Temple,'s faces below! 🤩 And it was a pleasure to to celebrate with all the other MRS Operations Awards finalists and winners - truly well-deserved, and congratulations from all of us at Empower! A bit of a humble brag... every single award we have won has been a genuine surprise - from The King's Awards for Enterprise for International Trade to the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) Wales Service Excellence Award. We never know if 'global research localization' services are too niche, too specialist, or simply too opaque to stand up to the incredible case studies that are entered. What's truly fantastic is being able to showcase the hard work Empower team members put in to striving for excellence in research localization as a vital component of international studies, which account for around 30% of all UK market research. The judges said: ✨ The winners challenged traditional approaches to translation services, showing agility and ingenuity in developing a fixed price, fixed turnaround costing solution. ✨ So, if you are looking for an award-winning, fixed price and turnaround solution to your research translation and localization needs, connect with Ruth, John or Jonny Bates to find out more! We'd love to hear from you 🤗 #mrx #localization #translation #marketresearch #marketingresearch

We are overjoyed to be Market Research Society (MRS) Operations Awards Finalists 🤩 🏆 As our CEO Ruth says every year, the entry jitters never go away... waiting to hear if our case study has made the Finalist cut is ALWAYS a nail-biting experience. But, we have somehow managed to do just that for 6 years in a row - in no small way thanks to our wonderful #mrx client partners for supporting us with glowing testimonials, and the opportunity to work on hugely important projects in the first place! With a shout-out to our long-time category sponsors, Criteria Fieldwork, and fellow finalist E-Tabs 🤗 We can't wait to see you there! 🎉

We're celebrating 27 years! 27 years of insight localization for some of the most innovative, renowned and - quite truthfully - wonderful research teams in the world. 27 years of helping researchers to hear and understand people's voices from around the globe. 27 years of empowering global change in thousands of sectors, across every country and culture. 27 years of advocating for diversity, inclusion and equality - both within our team, and international research. We are so grateful to every person who has believed in the 'power' of Empower. Here's to another 27 years!
