Case Study: A Brazilian firm wanted to open offices in the DFW region but was unsure. Lombard Global and two separate market research firms put together field questionnaires and analyzed results. Lombard Global and the client were still not convinced direct investment into DFW was the right move, so we conducted focus groups. The results of this research told us that the market required an “education phase” and therefore it was too risky to invest directly at the present moment. As a result, the client asked us to open the Asia Pacific market for them which dynamically changed their entire business in a very positive way.
