Still smiling about our team holiday get-together. We reserved a suite at an SU basketball game and it was the perfect way to celebrate the season together. 🏀🧡

Hope everyone had a relaxing holiday break and a great start to the new year.

For us, it was also a chance to take a breath and appreciate what we accomplished in 2025, including finishing the year ahead of our sales goals (a credit to a team that shows up for each other every day).

Feeling grateful, recharged, and excited for what’s ahead. Here’s to an even stronger 2026. 💪📊🚀

Our Drive Research team was proud to once again support the CNY Care Package Project with United Way of Central New York. 💙

Together, our team pooled monetary donations, which Drive Research matched dollar for dollar.

With those funds, we purchased shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and other personal care essentials that will be packaged and distributed to neighbors in need across CNY through local partners.

Thank you to United Way of CNY and all of the partner agencies for organizing this effort, and to our Drive Research team members who contributed.

🥤 Are you team Coke or team Pepsi?

For decades, the two soda giants battled it out in one of the fiercest rivalries in business history. From the emotional pull of Coke’s branding to the bold Pepsi Challenge, the Cola Wars remain a fascinating case study in marketing, psychology, and consumer behavior.

Our president, George Kuhn, joined LumiQ to break down this rivalry and the role of market research and branding in shaping consumer loyalty.

🎙️ Episode highlights:
- How Coke grew through emotional branding and product availability
- Pepsi’s counter-positioning and the Pepsi Challenge
- What went wrong with New Coke
- The neuroscience behind brand loyalty

It’s a must-listen for marketers, strategists, and anyone curious about how brands win (and sometimes lose) in the marketplace.

Listen to the trailer below.

For the third consecutive year, Drive Research is proud to support the State of Caring survey in partnership with the United Way of Central New York. By donating our team’s time and expertise, we hope this research helps local organizations discover new ways to give back and strengthen our community. 🍊🍊

A special thank you to Christopher Coville for leading this year’s study, and to George Kuhn for presenting highlights at the State of Caring breakfast.

Here are a few highlights from this year’s survey:
📊 Central New Yorkers are 16% more likely to give than the rest of the U.S.
📊 70% donated $100+ in the past year, with half giving $200+
📊 1 in 4 residents volunteer weekly or more
📊 Gen Z is least likely to donate money but most likely to volunteer time
📊 The top barrier to giving is financial strain, followed by economic uncertainty
