📍 Did you know Grandview Heights basically named Upper Arlington?

When the Thompson brothers developed the land just north of Grandview Heights in 1914, they called their new subdivision "Upper Arlington" — simply because it sat above the area locals still called Arlington, which is today's Grandview Heights!

Speaking of long Grandview history — Spencer Research has been right here on Grandview Avenue since 1958, helping the world's top food & beverage brands make better decisions through market research. We're proud to be part of this neighborhood's story!

✨
This photo was taken right here at Spencer Research in the 1960s — and we are absolutely obsessed with it. 🖤
A room full of incredible women, giving their honest feedback while our researcher guides them through the process. Real people. Real opinions. Real results. That's been our DNA from the very beginning — and it hasn't changed a bit.

A day in the life at Spencer Research! 🍲

This is exactly what a taste testing session looks like: our participant is sampling soup and sharing her honest feedback through our digital questionnaire.

Here's how it works:
✅ Taste the product in a comfortable, private setting
✅ Take your time to evaluate flavor, texture, aroma
✅ Answer questions about your experience
✅ Get paid for your valuable opinion!

Every spoonful, every opinion, every answer helps brands create better products for YOU. From the first taste to the final review, your voice matters.

Interested in trying new products before they hit store shelves? Join our research community and get paid to share what you think!

Comment 🍜 if you'd love to participate in food taste testing!

— meet one of our earliest Spencer researchers! 🛒📋

This vintage photo from the 1960s captures a Spencer researcher up close with the shelves, carefully examining products the way only a trained observer can. Shopping cart beside her, products in hand — this is what real consumer research looked like before smartphones, online surveys, and digital data collection.

Can you spot the brands on those shelves? These are household names that were shaped by exactly this kind of hands-on consumer insight. Every one of those brands needed to know what real shoppers thought, and researchers like her were the ones finding out.

Some things never change:
✨ Real people, real opinions
✨ Products shaped by consumer insights
✨ Spencer researchers dedicated to capturing your voice

The tools may look different now — but our passion for understanding the consumer? That hasn't changed since day one. 💜
