Market Research
A to Z

Gayle has been in market research since 1993. Starting out as a market research recruiter, she became passionate about the industry, eventually growing into a business leader and owner. Naturally inquisitive, learning and understanding people, situations and possibilities is at the core of what drives her. A problem-solver at heart, she loves challenging projects that require her to think outside of the box. Putting the puzzle pieces together and ensuring project success provides a small thrill every time!

Prior to working in market research, she spent time as a conference coordinator at the University of Texas in Austin as well as working in various positions in the airline industry at American Airlines.

Her experience as a gate agent at O’Hare Airport in Chicago and San Jose, California conditioned her to be flexible and work with the unknowns, both of which are critical skills in the market research industry.

She loves to travel, her favorite places include, Turks and Caicos and Carmel, California. When not traveling, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, exploring new restaurants, and reading in the pool during hot Texas summers.

Hillary brings a multi-faceted skill set to AlphaBuzz. She began her career in event production and management after graduating from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2015 with a double major in Broadcasting and Public Relations. For nearly 5 years, she worked in all aspects of the fast-paced events world. From creating and managing timelines and budgets, to coordinating logistics and operations for large events all over the world, she learned how to become a fast-thinking problem solver. While the events space allowed her to travel, she found her interests shifting to wanting to work more closely with the human element and undertook a major directional change into qualitative market research. The ever-changing industry keeps her stimulated and challenged.

Hillary first entered market research with AlphaBuzz. in October 2021 (after watching her mom build a successful business for over 16 years)! Her attention to detail, strong communication skills and ability to “go with the flow” have made her an effective Project Director. Ensuring success for her clients is her top priority.

When she’s not working, she enjoys traveling, watching true crime, working out and spending time with family and friends.

Rémy serves as a project director for Alphabuzz and is committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure projects stay on task and on time with first-rate results. Following her graduation from the University of Texas Arlington in 2015 with a degree in communications, she worked in public relations and communications for seven years. As an outreach and communications associate, she developed, implemented, and managed the outreach efforts before being promoted to communication coordinator for the Trinity River Authority of Texas. As the communications coordinator, Remy worked on a multitude of projects that required her to carry a project from initial concept through implementation and analysis. Her previous experience afforded her the opportunity to hone her skills in problem solving, communications and project management.

Rémy joined Alphabuzz in 2022 and has since taken the lead on diverse projects for a variety of clients. Her attention to detail, excellent verbal and written communications skills and ability to work in a fast-paced environment have proven to be an asset to Alphabuzz.

Outside of work, Rémy can be found chasing her two young boys, working out or spending time with friends and family.
