Where independent expertise becomes trusted research
What it means to join MRCA
MRCA is not a network, a marketplace, or an agency. It is a professional framework designed to align independent experts around shared standards, clear methodologies, and institutional trust.
Joining MRCA means operating independently but no longer invisibly.

Who Can Join
MRCA is open to independent professionals working in market research, strategy, insights, and related disciplines.
We do not recruit profiles. We certify practices.
Why Join MRCA
Because credibility should not depend on size, visibility, or affiliation.
MRCA exists to solve a structural problem: independent expertise is often strong, but rarely trusted at scale. By joining MRCA, members do not give up independence, they gain recognition, clarity, and professional legitimacy.
Membership Principles
MRCA membership is based on professional integrity, demonstrated practice, and adherence to shared standards.
Admission is selective and reviewed, with an emphasis on quality, independence, and alignment with the Association’s charter.
Membership reflects professional standing within a defined framework, not volume or commercial affiliation.
