We are thrilled to announce that Bolt Insight has been nominated for not one but TWO categories at this year's MRS Operations Awards! Also known as the Oppies.
The Oppies are one of the most respected awards in the market research industry, celebrating the operational excellence, innovation and ambition that keeps the research world moving. Being recognised by the MRS in any category is something to be proud of, and being nominated in two feels like a real statement of where Bolt Insight is heading!
This year, we are finalists in the Best Data Solution category and the Innovation and Enterprise category. The winners will be announced at the Oppies party on 24th September at Drake and Morgan in London.
Building on last year
For those at last year's ceremony, you will know how much our 2025 win meant to the team. Bolt Insight took home the Best Online Qual award, with judges noting that in just four days, our platform gathered over 6,400 feedback lines from 320 consumers across four markets, with smart probing that produced deeper insights the client described as ‘transformative’.
That win was a proud moment for everyone at Bolt Insight. But more than a trophy, it was validation that qualitative research at scale does not have to mean sacrificing depth, nuance or the human truth that makes insight useful.
A new chapter with Bolt Intelligence
Since our previous win, we launched Bolt Intelligence, our always-on consumer intelligence platform bringing together qualitative research, quantitative research, UX testing and social listening in one connected system.
Bolt Intelligence represents a fundamental shift in how we think about consumer understanding. Rather than isolated studies that answer one question at a time, Bolt Intelligence is built for compounding insight, where every study feeds the next, every finding connects to the last, and the intelligence your organisation builds never resets.
This is what being nominated in the Innovation and Enterprise category feels like to us. Not just recognition of what we have already done, but of the direction we are committed to pushing the industry towards.
Being nominated for the Best Data Solution category alongside that reflects the same ambition. Real data, at real scale, with the human expertise to make it count.
Thank you
To our clients, our partners and everyone who has trusted us with their research, thank you. These nominations belong to you as much as they do to us!
Whatever the outcome on the 24th September, we are proud of the work, proud of the team and excited about what is coming next at Bolt Insight!
