“I have been reading John Dick’s newsletter every Saturday for years. I am not alone as his newsletter is one of the most popular in America. John combines fresh polling and research data on how we think, feel and behave with a writing style that is at times biting, and almost always funny.” — Tony Chapman
John Dick founded Civic Science to improve the quality of consumer data that companies and leaders were using to make decisions — the previous approach of calling people on their landlines or paying for surveys was no longer (if ever) generating data that was reflected everyday consumer perspectives.
This week on Chatter That Matters, John discusses how his company has led the charge on innovating consumer polling and data collection and shares the challenges of selling innovation to blue-chip companies reluctant to deviate from the status quo. The pair discuss John’s highly successful newsletter, which is read by thousands including world leaders, global CEOs and celebrities, and testament to the importance of making data relatable, personal and actionable.
Covering today’s most relevant and important topics such as life balance, the impact of COVID-19 on women, the problems facing traditional and social media and the disappearance of a middle ground, John Dick and Tony Chapman swap stories and opinions that will leave listeners engaged, thoughtful and undoubtedly ready to seek out points of view that are different than their own.
