Goodwin Simon Strategic Research (GSSR) was founded in 2001 by Amy Simon and Paul Goodwin. Donna Victoria joined the group in 2006 when GSSR became Goodwin Simon Victoria Research. At Goodwin Simon Victoria Research (GSV) we offer a comprehensive array of quantitative and qualitative research services to our clients, from telephone and on-line surveys to focus groups and on-line media testing, to consulting on communications issues. Our clients include political candidates and ballot measures; public sector agencies such as cities, counties, and school and college districts; and nonprofit organizations and labor unions. At GSV, we believe in the clients we work for, clients who share our idealism and our commitment to making a better world. We believe that on a good day, what we do can make a difference for our nation and for our children. We trust that on the bad days, at least we are doing no harm. We also believe in hard work. A partner always serves as the principal researcher for every client. We write the questionnaires, we supervise the fielding, and we do the analysis and reporting. We work with our clients to make sure that they get their money's worth: fast, accurate, and useful research findings. We stay with our clients to help them use the findings to make strategic decisions. We provide personal, hands-on attention to every client. We try to add intellectual value to the work we do for our clients. Our partners have extensive background not only in statistics, but also in policy, communications, and politics. We help our clients conceptualize their ideas, and then turn their ideas into reality using the research findings to improve communications. We think that what we are doing is working. Our clients come back year after year, and refer others to us. More importantly, our clients have been succeeding in their election campaigns, in their public sector programs, and in their union or nonprofit efforts.
