The STAR Report is a syndicated market research offering from The Brooks Group and Mark Krueger & Associates, Inc., allowing you to benchmark your company’s advocacy relations efforts against your competitors.
The STAR Report will help you understand emerging policy and advocacy trends, enabling you to quickly and efficiently develop, commercialize, differentiate, and secure reimbursement for your products.

Benefits of STAR
STAR Report survey findings will identify:
- Which companies are most respected by patient and professional groups
- Short and long-term goals within specific advocacy communities

Why STAR?

The STAR Report puts patient advocacy relations in the forefront and will help pharmaceutical and biotech executives identify how their companies are impacted by the external environment. STAR research will help them become better prepared to take advantage of—and respond quickly to—the opportunities and threats impacting their business strategy.
