During an Accelerant Research Virtual Insights Conference (ARVIC), Susan Shaw, Customer Research Lead at Ford, shared an honest take on imposter syndrome in research. She emphasized why your past experience—regardless of background—is more relevant than you might think.

Whether you're transitioning into UX or just finding your voice in a new role, her advice is a must-hear.

When it comes to the Super Bowl, people tend to know themselves pretty well.

Our Super Bowl 2026 pre- and post-game surveys show that pre-game intent translated cleanly into actual behavior. Those who planned to watch followed through. Those who didn’t plan to watch largely stayed uninterested.

Sometimes the insight isn’t about change—it’s about consistency.

Most fans stuck to their plans for the Super Bowl
 but staying home sounded better for some people by kickoff. 🏠

Our Super Bowl 2026 pre- and post-game surveys show a slight shift toward last-minute stay ins, with fewer people heading to friends’ houses or bars than originally planned. Perhaps the East Coasters facing a tundra outside. ❄

Everyone loves a winner—and the data proves it.

Our Super Bowl 2026 pre- and post-game surveys show that before the game, support was more evenly distributed. After the outcome was clear, viewers were far less likely to say they’d been rooting for the losing team, with post-game allegiance shifting toward the winner.

This is exactly why timing matters when measuring sentiment.

Expectations vs. reality told an interesting story this Super Bowl.

Our Super Bowl 2026 pre- and post-game surveys reveal that before the game, fans anticipated the game itself and commercials would dominate. In reality? The Bad Bunny halftime show stole the spotlight—while enthusiasm for the game and ads cooled.

This is why measuring sentiment both before and after key moments matters.

Can anyone else relate? 😅 It’s so hard to explain market or UX research to people outside the field.

Accelerant’s Molly Hagan recalled struggling to describe her dad’s research career — and now faces the same challenge herself.

The silver lining? She says it’s actually great practice for becoming a stronger communicator as a researcher.

Watch more from Molly and her dad, Joe Hagan of 20/20 Financial Research Corp, in this Accelerant Research Virtual Insights Conference (ARVIC)!
