Technology-driven research execution
Sam Pisani, Managing Partner, Logit Group
Sam Pisani embodies the passion that the Logit team brings to research execution. From building a dynamic team of research execution professionals to staying on the forefront of technological, methodological and regulatory trends, Sam’s vision has always been to reinvent and reinvigorate data collection within the research industry.
Sam understands that our clients are striving for a competitive edge, which is why he stresses continuous investment in both platform- and methodology-based advancement. This ensures that the data Logit collects is leveraged to further advance their products and services and/or to provide their customers with a better experience.
Under Sam’s leadership, the Logit Group was named to the 2020 GRIT Top 50 list as one of the most innovative companies in market research.
Sam is helping to shape the future of insights through the launch of innovative products like Zamplia, an all-in-one, API-driven sample platform; Q-FI, an insights generation and data visualization enhancement platform; and Votified, the first real-time online voter profiling tool.
Sam also hosts our new Logit Influencer Series webinar, focused on the trends and technological advancements that are making a meaningful impact on the MR space.
He also takes an approach of being both flexible and methodologically agnostic, avoiding the potential pitfalls of being too rigid – if all he does is manufacture hammers, everything will start looking like a nail.
That’s why Sam Pisani is not only a truly holistic research practitioner but he’s also an industry thought leader whose insights both add value for clients and galvanize Logit’s overarching mission of being an innovative, technology-driven MR firm.

Uniting the MR industry
Marketing Research Education Foundation
What’s hot? Giving back to those in need.
We are fortunate to work in an industry with bright and well-educated people. But there are so many in this world who don’t have access to the same educational opportunities afforded us. The Marketing Research Education Foundation (MREF) was founded in 2015 to unite the marketing research industry around educating underserved children worldwide. To date we have distributed over $500,000 to programs that serve at-risk children.
Show the industry that your company is philanthropic by joining our great cause.
