Howdy EMF Universe!

The time is finally upon us – I literally have goose bumps as I type this. I know the impact that this research is going to have for all of us now, and the foreseeable future.  This is the first step in what will be the best, constant global source for Experiential Marketing research.  We (EMF/IMI) want to invite you to participate in this historic survey.  We’re asking you to be involved in the largest study we’ve ever conducted. This is your chance to be part of something EPIC.

I know that the research findings will benefit everyone tremendously. The online survey will only take approx 12-18 minutes to complete. As an EMF community member, you will receive a complimentary research report, to be finalized in early 2011.   There will be other reports to come on a TND frequency.  Some of those reports will be complimentary while other will have a fee.  This is because I’ve received numerous requests to sort the data a specific way for people.  We are more than happy to do that, but in those situations it will have a fee attached.  BUT, since you are a community member of the strongest community in the world – the first, most robust report is 100% complimentary!

The findings will provide a pulse on the issues facing marketers and agencies in today’s environment.  The research will allow you to get a better understanding of opportunities to drive your success.  We have people from every country in the world involved.  Certain people that I’ve been in contact with will be taking on a slightly larger role.

Words cannot express how happy I am to begin this series of research.  I know, without question, that it will help your businesses in many ways.  I’m honored that you all have chosen to be part of something that I created over 6.5 years ago.  Again, there are no words to explain something this magnificent.

I’d also like to thank IMI for their role in making all of this a reality.  I’ve worked and been in contact with almost every research partner out there.  I hope that you recognize what IMI is also doing here and think about them for your next research project – they are amazing people!

As we’ve been talking about for weeks – PLEASE post this front and center on your blogs, on your company’s intranet and wherever else you think that we can get some great involvement.  I thank you in advance for all of your help.  I am always in awe when we do things like this and I have people from EVERY SINGLE country contact me wanting to help – it makes me feel so great.   Especially, please feel free to send this link along to your senior management team.

Please rest assured that the information you provide is kept 100% confidential, and is aggregated for analysis purposes.
