This is an individual membership for market researchers and market research users who have at least two years' experience in the industry. The Market Research Society is largely an organisation of individuals (as opposed to organisations such as AMRO, which represent companies), and the majority of members are Full members. The benefits of Full Membership include:

  • attendance at MRSNZ events (conferences, speakers, seminars, social events, etc) at discounted prices;
  • full voting rights.

Full members undertake to abide by the MRSNZ Code of Practice and complaints can be brought against them, as individuals, if they personally fail to comply.

Market Research Company Membership

This is another membership category for organisations, not individuals. It is for organisations whose main source of income is Market Research. In addition, these Members are expected to have at least one Full Member, and may have any number of Full or Associate members.

This membership was set up to ensure that market research companies are accountable for the professional conduct of all their staff, including those who are not MRSNZ members. AMRO requires all its members to be MRSNZ Market Research Company Members and this membership is also a requirement of IQS accreditation. It does not include other benefits such as publications or voting rights.

Market Research Company Members undertake to abide by the MRSNZ Code of Practice and complaints can be brought against the organisation if it fails to comply. The senior executive of the Market Research Company Member is held responsible for its actions in this respect.

Benefits include:
