Leslie Turnbull,
Principal
Like Barbara Walters, Leslie Turnbull knows exactly the right question to ask and when to ask it to get the answers our clients need from focus group participants. Leslie freely offers her advice and that’s a good thing, especially for clients making their first foray into the world of opinion or market research. Nobody warms up a focus group crowd like Leslie, who uses her self-deprecating sense of humour to break the ice. Known at Viewpoints as ‘the queen of the road’, she has logged thousands of miles by air, road, and even sea, to lead focus group discussions from Nunavut to Halifax to Victoria. Sometimes, she even puts her 20-plus years of experience to work right here in Winnipeg. Leslie’s experience covers the whole gamut of opinion and market research. Strategic guidance is her forte, especially when it comes to campaigns.
Ginny Devine,

As one of Viewpoints founding partners, Ginny Devine has more than two decades invested in helping our clients tackle their opinion and market research challenges head-on.

Our clients truly appreciate that. With a background in public policy and government and extensive experience working on projects with various unions and businesses, Ginny is adept at understanding the dynamics unique to many sectors. Her years of experience in developing surveys, moderating focus groups and interpreting the results allow her to solve research problems in inventive, effective and efficient ways.
