This coalition brings the two teams together as one organization, expanding the expertise, perspectives and capabilities available to clients while maintaining the close, senior-level partnerships that have long defined both firms.

Both MDRG and Stitch Marketing Research hold a shared belief that the strongest research starts with people and is most valuable when it helps organizations make confident, informed decisions.

Stitch’s capabilities complement MDRG’s 30+ years of custom research experience, including healthcare expertise, qualitative and quantitative research, brand strategy, and its proprietary WholeMind™ approach. Together, the combined team brings broader perspectives, expanded capabilities and greater reach to help clients navigate increasingly complex questions and opportunities.

“Bringing Stitch and MDRG together is more than adding capabilities—it’s about bringing together two teams that share a fundamentally similar way of working,” said Sachin Parate, CEO of MDRG. “We’re curious, collaborative and deeply committed to understanding the people behind the data and the business questions our clients are trying to answer. By combining our teams, perspectives and expertise, we can offer clients more ways forward while maintaining the close, senior-level partnership that has always been at the heart of MDRG.”
