Our History
About GreatBlue Research
Originally incorporated in October 2009, the history of GreatBlue Research dates back to 1979, where market research was done with sharp pencils, paper surveys, and statistics by hand. Originally known as The Center for Research and Public Policy (CRPP) in New Haven, CT, our current owner and CEO, Michael Vigeant, amicably split the business with the founder and current owner of CRPP in 2010. Then formerly known as The Center for Research of Meriden, CT, in 2013 a company rebrand was on the horizon, and the birth of “GreatBlue Research” occurred in May of that year.
While times and technologies have changed tremendously over the last several decades, GreatBlue remains a full-service market research company, offering both quantitative and qualitative services.
