ABOUT US

Rockland Dutton Research & Consulting (RDR&C) is a specialized research and consulting business that works with select clients who need best-in-class expertise available to them. The firm is engaged with a wide range of clients including the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank Group, the airline industry (IATA), and Axis Capital. In addition, RDR&C has supported agricultural check-off programs for the beef, soy, mango and avocado industries, as well as a host of PR and marketing agencies. After three years in business, the firm has worked with around 40 clients ranging from global household names to boutique marketing agencies.

RDR&C was formed in mid-2017 to provide clients with research, insights, analytics and measurement to address business and organizational problems and opportunities. The firm started when the two partners, the husband and wife team of Sarah Dutton and David Rockland, retired from top jobs in the public polling and market research fields. Specifically, Sarah was the Director of Surveys for CBS News where she worked for 18 years. And, David built and led Ketchum Global Research & Analytics (KGRA) from 2000 to 2017.

The company has a Research and Design Director, Emily Peet, to make sure that not only is the work product the smartest and most robust it can be, but also visually appealing and communicates the findings clearly and succinctly. As of February 1, 2019, Courtney Kalous joined the team as Vice President. She brings a wealth of experience in evaluation and strategic planning for commodity check-off programs. A stable of freelance staff is engaged when support at various staff levels is needed.
