A little perspective goes a long way. After 12 years as a solid custom research shop, Cogent added a syndicated research arm to fuel our ability to generate meaningful insights and actionable strategies for our clients. The syndicated research group at Cogent is committed to not only keeping Cogent and its clients abreast of trends, but also being an active participant in the public dialogue regarding the future direction of industry.

Cogent has three types of reports:

Perspective Series - Large-scale quantitative studies that provide a comprehensive view of macro issues facing industry. The goal is to provide key players with an understanding of the landscape and their position in the market.
Discovery Series - Research studies focused on a specific issue or market. Goal is to drill down deep within one specific area to provide a detailed understanding.
Insight Series - Shorter, research-based papers, that give an overview of an emerging issue facing industry.  Click Here  for a sample of an Insight Series Report (produced by Cogent and co-marketed with DWS)
