What Makes San Francisco a Great Location for Conducting Marketing Research?
San Francisco is the cultural, commercial and financial center of Northern California and the only consolidated city-county in the state. It is the most densely settled large city in California and the second most densely populated major city in the United States.
- San Francisco is the heart of the Bay Area, a nine-county major metropolitan area with a population of more than 8.6 million, making it the fifth most populous market in the nation. The community is highly-educated and ethnically diverse.
- This primary west coast market is home to major technology companies, biotechnology firms, major banking institutions, healthcare companies, and small businesses. Here you will find the headquarters of Salesforce.com, Dropbox, Reddit, Square, Inc., Dolby, Airbnb, Weebly, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Yelp, Pinterest, Twitter, Uber, Mozilla, Wikimedia Foundation, Craigslist, and others.
- Nichols Research is located in the Financial District, just blocks from the Embarcadero, the promenade that flows along the San Francisco Bay waterfront, and is within walking distance of the iconic cable cars, Transamerica Pyramid, and the famed North Beach neighborhood.
- Nearby you will find local, sustainable casual restaurant options, exquisite dining, boutique and five-star hotels, the Embarcadero Center, Chinatown, the San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace, and a Planet Fitness and Fedex office located in our building. Both the Embarcadero and Montgomery BART and MUNI stations are an easy stroll to and from our building with lines from Oakland and San Francisco International Airports.
