1. We Grew and Added More Diversity
|
|
|
The HIT team expanded in 2022. We now have a women-led research team, including chief research officer and founding partner Roshni Nedungadi, senior research manager Dr. Lauren Goldstein, research managers Courtney Couillard, Dr. Gabi Vitela, and Ashley Aylward, and research innovation manager Martina Smith.

Since opening three years ago, HIT has become one of the fastest-growing firms in Washington, D.C., starting with five full-time staff in early 2021 and ending in 2022 with over 30. We remain the youngest and most diverse public opinion research company in Washington. Our team lives at the intersection of the communities most underrepresented in public opinion research.

2. Poll Around and Find Out
|
|
|
We conducted more polls and focus groups than ever in 2022. With an average of 2 polls per week, HIT partners gained keen insight into key communities and issues shaping American discourse today.
Check out a few focus groups on HIT’s YouTube page and see more of our research on the HIT website.

3. Our research led the way on issues that determined the outcome of the 2022 midterm.

|
|
Last year, we conducted an array of research projects with our steadfast partners and clients. We tackled abortion rights with URGE and the Packard Foundation, gauged DC voter support for the Revised Criminal Code Act with DC Justice Lab, and reimagined public safety with Change Research, just to name a few.

4. HIT Strategies Turned 3 Years Old in 2022
|
|

In June 2022, HIT celebrated three years as a leading millennial and minority-owned public opinion research firm! Many of our close friends and clients said great things about working with HIT to honor our third year in business. Our clients and partners are the driving force behind the critical research, and client satisfaction remains a top priority at HIT Strategies.
