Gain Insights & Inspiration
Background: Sampling the Orthodox Jewish community in Israel comes with its fair share of hurdles (i.e. no Internet use, no smartphones, etc).
Methodology: Through experience, Direct Polls has developed a quantitative and qualitative way to sample this influential cohort. Through demographic and geographic segmentation mapping, we’ve broken down sub-sectors and identified complexities within the Ultra-Orthodox society and their respective neighborhoods throughout the country.
Results: Given this ability to identify patterns of behavioral, political, and social depth processes, Direct Polls has the capacity to forecast and understand this highly influential population with immense accuracy. As a result, we’ve serviced the Israeli government and one of Israel’s largest hospitals on different projects concerning this community’s deeply rooted social processes.
Internationally-Backed,
Locally-Focused
Direct Polls is a global strategy and research company that provides real-time data, insights, and strategy with unparalleled accuracy and speed. Co-Founders Shlomo Filber and Tzuriel Sharon created the company after implementing a novel sampling methodology that correctly predicted the results of Israel’s neck-and-neck prime minister election in 2015.
Since then, our approach improves with each passing day to serve campaign managers, businesses, and politicians to help accomplish their most desirable outcomes.
