The Media Engagement Research Laboratory (ME Lab)

The Media Engagement Research Laboratory (ME Lab) at the College of Communication offers affordable market research services to the DePaul community, Chicago businesses and NGOs to discover how consumers interact with media. In addition to our academic research, we compile data for clients, offering recommendations based on the needs of your organization at a fraction of the cost of market research companies.

Analyze your audience, brand and content

At the ME Lab, we:

  • Gather data on how audiences interact with mediated content, like online ads and social media
  • Deliver competitive intelligence
  • Provide key insights for your organization

DePaul undergraduate and graduate students collaborate with professors on advanced research projects to conduct audience, brand and content analyses. Students apply their skills by working with clients in the Chicago community. As they collect comprehensive market research data and deliver strategic insights to clients, students gain paid work experience in the nation’s third-largest media market.
