Hi, this is Jamin. You're listening to the Happy Market Research Podcast. The next set of episodes are conversations I had at this year's Corporate Researchers Conference or CRC.

Hi, this is Jamin, and you are listening to the Happy Market Research Podcast. We are live on the floor of CRC here in Orlando. I have the honor of having Kevin Lewis with Cint on the podcast. Kevin, how are you?
[00:46]
Doing great, Jamie. Appreciate the time.
[00:49]
Are you kidding me? I appreciate your time always. So, what is going on with Cint?
[00:55]
We've got a lot of great things going on. Obviously, with the recent announcements with the P2 acquisition, working tirelessly, Katie Gross, Jake Wolff, and the entire management staff. But we're progressing at a great pace and excitement across the industry and our clients.
[01:15]
Yeah, I mean that was a big announcement. P2’s player, right? You guys are the mother of sample marketplaces.
[01:27]
Appreciate that.
[01:28]
No, it's true. I mean 1998, 96 maybe, 98. So like, hold on. [to third party] Ann, I'll talk to you in a little bit. Are you running around? [Ann answers in the background] You're going… Okay, I'll see up there. [to Kevin Lewis] Sorry. I love her.
[01:44]
She’s keeping it real.
[01:45]
Do you know Ann?
[01:46]
I do.
[01:47]
Okay, good. She buy from you?
[01:50]
Not directly through me though I'm not sure.
[01:52]
Well, I'd check that out, man. Anyways, so, now back to the podcast. All that's gone. Sorry, Trudie. She's going to be so pissed. “You make my job so hard.”
[02:07]
That's part of being in a conference; it’s real time.
[02:09]
It is totally real time and I really dig it. So, you guys, P2 acquisition, the rationale for the acquisition: obviously more sample, right? We have a product problem in the industry, meaning a supply problem in the industry. There's not enough people, respondents, or participants to deal with the growing demand of insights. So that has to be part of the investment or the acquisition thesis. Is that right?
[02:35]
Yeah, 100%. In today's world, reach is important. Technology and scaling and what we're trying to do is to provide our clients the opportunity to enable and empower them a more efficient way to collect and gather insights. And for us, it's really identifying and discovering what their current business ecosystem is and figuring out what is the right solution. And sometimes for us, we're trying to figure out—I always use the banking analogy in today's world and it goes on the researcher side as well. You've got an area where traditionally people would walk into a bank and physically deposit a check. Then it evolved to being able to put that check inside of the ATM. And now it's more programmatic: being able to take a picture. And depending on people's lifestyles and how they work internally, traditionally,
