2026 Research Manifesto

We're mapping how performance marketers are actually using AI in 2026

The Research Company

2026 AI Marketing Study

We're building the most up-to-date practical guide on how AI is changing marketing work.

We're talking to performance marketers about what they've tried, what's actually helping, what's overhyped, and how their day-to-day work is changing.

Your perspective helps us understand the people seeing that shift firsthand.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

Who is TheResearchCompany?

We're a small group of ex-marketers and martech people turned researchers, mapping how AI is reshaping the marketing world. We run paid research conversations with practitioners to understand what's actually changing in the work.

Why are you paying people?

Because expert perspective is worth paying for. We believe marketers with real experience should be paid for their insights, so participants earn for sharing theirs.

Who should apply?

Someone who works on paid ads or growth: media buyers, performance marketers, paid social specialists, growth marketers, ads managers, or people overseeing paid media teams.

What happens on the call?

We'll ask about your current marketing workflows, where AI is helping, where it falls short, and what products you wish existed. It is a research conversation, not a sales call.

When and how do I get paid?

You get paid after completing the research call. We'll confirm payout details with you and send the $75 incentive using an available payout method.

Do I need LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is the fastest way for us to verify fit. If we cannot verify your profile automatically, we'll ask for the missing details or review your submission manually.
