About Hanover Research

Hanover Research is a brain trust designed to level the information playing field. We are hundreds of researchers who support thousands of organizational decisions every year.

From strategic expansions into new markets, products, or programs to daily operations that delight customers, retain employees, and optimize revenue, Hanover’s team supports clients across the entire decision spectrum.

We run on a unique long-term relationship model that allows us to be a true strategic partner, delivering critical information to our clients more quickly and at a lower cost than traditional firms. We accomplish this by leveraging a talent engine that introduces our clients to and allows them to benefit from the intellectual sharing economy.

Our clients come in all shapes and sizes—from established global organizations, to emerging companies, to educational institutions. Their operating models are often lean, but their need for analytical rigor in decision making is equal to that of larger competitors.
