History and Overview

MotiveQuest was founded in 2003 by David Rabjohns, formerly an EVP at Leo Burnett Worldwide. MotiveQuest is headquartered in Evanston, IL, and maintains offices in New York, NY and Portland, OR. The company was one of the early pioneers in the study of Online Anthropology, uncovering the core human motivations to "why" people say the things they do online, as opposed to simply "what" they are saying online.
