Sometimes we need to see a bigger world, like the one provided by our LinkedIn feed, but with RTO being de rigueur, we need to get to know the people in our neighborhood.
We’re continuing to try new things to bring the people in our profession closer together this year as we transition to becoming a nonprofit educational organization (application pending), including this special local edition newsletter.
This new ICN Member Exclusive Content feature, which we’re tentatively calling the ICN Field Report focuses on communicating with ICN members, one state at a time, based on demand and interest. This month, we’re publishing 6 such newsletters, and each will be found in our LinkedIn Members-Only Group upon its release.

ICN Perspectives in Denver: Building Community is the Real Insight
This month’s Guest ICN Contributor: Charles Framularo
After two decades navigating the evolution of market research—from the traditional industry hubs of New York and Los Angeles to the rise of remote consultancy—Charles Framularo reflects on the one variable that data cannot replicate: community.
In this piece, Framularo traces his career path from a junior researcher at Harris Interactive to the founder of Eiger Insights in Denver. He explores the “remote researcher’s dilemma”—the professional isolation that often accompanies the flexibility of modern work. By documenting his recent efforts to revitalize the local insights scene in Colorado through the Insights Career Network (ICN), he argues that informal local networks are not just a social luxury but a professional necessity. Especially in an era dominated by AI and remote tools, Framularo issues a call to action for researchers in Denver and beyond to step away from their screens and reinvest in the human connections that drive mentorship, growth, and industry innovation.
