Why Validity researches marketing trends

Marketing moves fast, and the gap between what marketers plan and what actually drives results is always shifting. Validity's research program tracks that gap—combining marketer surveys, consumer studies, and performance data to give marketing leaders a full picture of what's changing and why it matters. Whether you're building a strategy from scratch or refining an existing one, our research gives you real-world data to do it with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our research draws from two distinct audiences: marketing professionals across industries and seniority levels, and everyday consumers. Surveying both groups lets us surface the gaps between what marketers assume and what audiences actually experience.

We aim to publish new reports quarterly, each focused on the trends and decisions marketers are facing that quarter. Check back here or subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when new research drops.

Each report includes actionable insights alongside the data. For personalized guidance on applying our research to your email program, explore Validity Engage's capabilities or reach out to our team.
