Rival Technologies

Global experts in insight communities and mobile-first market research methodologies

We’re on a mission to help brands activate their best customers…

And we’re starting with the $90-billion market research industry.

Why? Because brands have become dangerously reliant on anonymous tracking and test-like, email-based surveys—traditional approaches that are out of sync with how people live their digital lives.

Rival is a mobile-first, Voice of Customer platform that makes it easy to reach real people in real-time and engage them in a way that feels fresh, organic and fun. With Rival, every research engagement is an opportunity to innovate with your customers and deliver an experience that builds affinity for your brand.

The Rival Story

The Rival Story

In 2017, our Founder, Andrew Reid, saw a massive gap in the market research industry. While brands were still relying on email-based surveys to engage customers, people have moved on to SMS, mobile messaging apps and social media. Together with a team of passionate researchers, UX experts, and technologists, Andrew started Rival to address this gap.

Today, 90% of Rival customers are in the Fortune 500.

Before Rival, Andrew founded Vision Critical (now Alida) in 2000—a company that went on to become an established player in insight communities and market research.
