Our Mission
Research Enquirer was founded by Sean Smith in 2013 as an independent information services provider. Being an avid reader of investigative reporting from a young age, Sean noticed that more and more newsrooms were having to downsize due to a decrease in funding. This posed an evident risk to the quality and availability of long-term investigative journalism. Considering investigative journalism as a critical pillar of society, Sean felt the need to provide an alternative solution for organizations suffering from a lack of ad-hoc resources in this field. He aimed to create an on-demand malleable workforce that could step into any organization and provide a cost-effective quality ‘fix’.
The Research Enquirer’s main goal is to improve the capacity and quality of the media sector and to provide specialized research capabilities to entities that struggle with it. We aim to provide businesses with the necessary agility and flexibility their industry needs.
We work on a project-by-project basis, servicing multiple organizations. Our professionals can seamlessly and expertly delve into each project to fill skill gaps and lack of resources. Our formation and continued funding are dependent on the high-quality of our work and our strong partnerships in the industry. Our natural partners are mainly within the print and broadcast media, but we have also successfully partnered with non-profit organizations and international think-tanks.
Our array of experienced professionals holds a variety of skills. With their global reach, they are ready to transform any lead into a comprehensive story.
