Celebrating 30 Years of MDRG: A Journey of Innovation and Impact

As 2024 drew to a close, MDRG marked a significant milestone: three decades of delivering insights that drive impactful decisions.

On a memorable evening at the Ferrara Showman Gallery in New Orleans, we celebrated our 30th anniversary surrounded by the people who have been integral to our success—current and past employees, clients, vendors, mentors, and members of the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce. 

Founded in 1994 by Sondra Brown, MDRG began as a passionate vision to redefine market research.

Over the years, it has evolved into a trusted partner for businesses seeking to navigate complex markets and understand their customers.

A Night to Remember

The anniversary event was a true celebration of collaboration and growth. One of the highlights was a moving video presentation encapsulating MDRG’s 30-year journey.

The video showcased pivotal moments, key achievements, and the people who have contributed to our story—a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come.

From our talented team to our supportive clients and partners, each of you has played a role in shaping our story. To female entrepreneurs, my advice is to trust your vision, embrace challenges as opportunities, and remember that resilience and a strong network are your greatest assets.”
