About Us
As your business expands and competes worldwide RS Consulting USA can be a single point of contact and trusted provider of marketing information, insights, and advice for your initiatives.
RS Consulting USA started in 1985 as The Richmark Group, a research-based consulting firm specializing in B2B and high-end consumer markets (then as now). Our roots were in channels marketing, but over time we expanded our services to cover the full range of clients’ marketing issues and opportunities and developed an alliance with RS Consulting, a London-based firm, which enabled us to strengthen our marketing research capabilities and offer global coverage.
In 2007 we became the Chicago office of Breaking Blue Research (formerly RS Consulting Group) and part of Cello Health plc, a conglomerate of 20+ leading marketing services firms listed on London’s AIM Exchange. Breaking Blue Research (breakingblueresearch.com) operates under four brands – Consensus Research International (financial consumer experts), Leapfrog (the consumer and brand research agency), mruk (bringing community focus to social research), and RS Consulting (global B2B market research specialists) – and has a sister division, Kudos Research (international field and data services for B2B and consumer).
In addition to being part of a global organization, RS Consulting USA has relationships with local partners in Asia Pacific and Latin America, and we can offer this service when appropriate.
Our management team is supported by a staff of experienced consultants and market research professionals.
