Why Target Research Directors Directly

The Research Director holds direct budget authority and vendor selection influence in their area of expertise. In B2B sales targeting the Innovation function, the Research Director is typically the decision-maker who approves new tools, platforms, services, and data providers for their team.

Research Directors are under constant pressure to deliver results, adopt new technologies, and demonstrate value to the organisation. A targeted outreach message addressing their specific challenge — whether that's efficiency, compliance, growth, or cost reduction — will consistently outperform generic campaigns directed at junior staff.

  • Research Directors control R&D budgets and innovation technology investments
  • Own corporate venture, accelerator relationships, and startup scouting programmes
  • Involved in strategic technology decisions with long-term business impact
  • Active consumers of market intelligence, technology radar, and startup data
  • Cross-functional influence over product, engineering, and corporate strategy

What Research Directors Buy
