In 1969, Peggy Moore took over the business she had been working for and turned it into Moore Research Services, Inc. The company was run out of her home while she raised her four children.
For several years, Moore Research conducted research primarily in Pennsylvania. In 1985, when Peggy’s daughter, Colleen Moore Mezler, joined the company, their focus began to expand. Moore Research launched a full-service research division and expanded their data collection efforts to include partnering with other research companies in the US and globally. Moore Research continues to this day to find ways to expand and diversify their growing business.

Favorite part of working at Moore Research: Market research intrigues me for a multitude of reasons. One of which is the psychology behind it. It’s fascinating to examine why people make decisions and interpret the motives behind those decisions. When consumers look at a product, they may rarely think of the process it took to prepare it, however, that is often the first thing my mind goes to. There are so many aspects to dive into and although market research is a science, it’s very much an art as well!
