As a qualitative market researcher specializing in insights generation, competitive analysis, and trend research, I've played a critical role in assisting various types of agencies and companies in their pursuit of bringing new services and customer experiences to the marketplace. My expertise enables them to understand emerging trends, consumer behavior, market dynamics, legal and regulatory frameworks, giving them a competitive edge and guiding strategic decision-making. Primary research: I moderate MROC, IDIs, FGD in Slovak and Czech language to uncover customers' opinions, beliefs, experiences with various products and services. I explore their relation to brands, their usage habits, and drivers and barriers of adoption. I've covered industries such as FinTech, FMCG, medical devices, and tobacco. My work helps insight agencies or innovation departments to better understand their opportunities or threats, thanks to having a great understanding of the studied cultures and how the cultural differences affect customer behavior. Secondary research Competitors Analysis My expertise in competitive analysis empowers clients to gain a comprehensive understanding of their competitors' strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Through careful examination of their offerings, marketing and communication strategies, and customer feedback, I identify gaps in the market and untapped opportunities. This information allows businesses to differentiate their products and services, refine their value proposition, and develop effective positioning strategies to stand out in a crowded marketplace. Trend Research As a trend researcher, I continuously monitor and analyze emerging trends in various industries (SaaS, HR Tech, MaaS, Edu Tech, Prop Tech, Publishing, and Retail). By keeping a finger on the pulse of market developments, I help clients anticipate changing customer demands and preferences, enabling them to proactively innovate. My trend reports serve as roadmaps for future business directions, ensuring companies stay ahead of the curve and capitalize on emerging opportunities. Cultural Research My proficiency in cultural market research with a focus on the Czech Republic and Slovakia allows me to delve into the cultural nuances, values, beliefs, and lifestyle preferences of Czech and Slovak consumers. By uncovering deep insights into how cultural factors influence consumer choices, I helps businesses make strategic decisions aligned with the cultural context.

Currently working as Product Owner leading a remote international dev team building B2B web applications,. Simultaneously I build on my own time multi-agent AI networks that interconnect different models into coordinated workflows. This combination — systems thinking, technical fluency, and hands-on AI building — is what I bring to projects that need to move fast without breaking things.I'm a team worker with practical understanding of many different areas (coding, web design, database architecture, politics, human security, pedagogy, marketing, SEO) that are not per se my areas of expertise but that help me understand the complexities of projects and therefore enable me to function very well in cross-functional teams. I thrive when I get to use a lot of them in parallel to drive projects forward. Having this understanding is especially important when communicating and orchestrating the work of different parts of a project. A manager that lacks this understanding will create frustrations and expensive mistakes in the long turn. The perfect project for me is looking at big issues and requires me to create conclusive analysis and apply analytical thinking. I like working with data to support decision-making and tell stories. I enjoy thinking about complex issues and discussing them with others. ⚙️ OPERATIONS & TEAM MANAGEMENT I set up and run the operational stack: ClickUp, Notion, Airtable, Coda, Jira, Asana, Hubstaff, Slack, MS Teams, and the automation layers between them. I manage distributed remote teams of developers, designers, and freelancers — handling task allocation, deadline tracking, QA, SOPs, and process documentation. I'm the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. 🤖 AI & AUTOMATION I'm actively building agent networks using Claude and OpenAI — workflows where models hand off tasks, trigger automations, and operate as a coordinated system rather than standalone tools. I work with automation platforms (Make, Zapier, and others) to connect tools and reduce manual overhead. This is hands-on build work, not theoretical interest. 🔬 RESEARCH & ANALYSIS MA in International Studies / Peace & Conflict Research. Over a decade of research work spanning policy analysis, data analysis, survey design, and academic writing. I've worked at the European Commission's Joint Research Center, GIZ (Senegal), and as Managing Editor of an international research platform for six years. My research background gives me the analytical depth to understand complex projects — not just manage them. 📊 DATA ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION / STATISTICS Data is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal. It informs analysis, strategy, and decision-making. It's also a powerful story telling tool that helps to support arguments and bring points across. Attractive data Visualization further improves the power of data. I am familiar with a bunch of different tools. For most work, programs like Google Sheets, Looker, or Excel are sufficient, but I also know how to use more advanced statistical software like SPSS and have a basic understanding of Python and SQL. 🧭 STRATEGIC THINKING AND LEADERSHIP I believe that we should embrace uncertainty and that certainty can be dangerous as it fosters arrogance and obscures unintended consequences. Questioning others should go hand in hand with questioning yourself. Arriving at a conclusion is important, but shouldn't make us blind to other factors. Being proud of your work is normal, but we should take no offense from criticism. That said, practicing good communication strategies is extremely important when working in a team. We need to make it easy for people to remain in an open state of mind and not go into a defensive stance. 🎓 Academic writing I acquired excellent academic writing skills in German as well as English during research-focused Master Studies and two Bachelor Studies as well as years of work as a student and research assistant. My Master thesis has been published, and I participated in several other publications before. Focus lies on (political) economy, international politics and social sciences. uni-frankfurt.academia.edu/FredSack 📺 Evaluations and Monitoring I can support you with the creation and analysis of questionnaires. I planned and conducted project evaluations for NGOs and a governmental aid organizations. ⌨️ Online Writing I have gained experience in different kinds of online writing, ranging from copy writing over blog writing to journalistic writing.

Whether you're just beginning to perform research or polishing your final draft, I'm confident in my ability to meaningfully contribute to your success. My own research has been published in peer-reviewed journals and I have experience assisting countless academics in getting their work to press. Effective scientific communication can be hard to get perfect, but together we'll make sure your research has the greatest impact possible. Personally, I am an anthropologist with significant qualitative research experience in both academia and industry. While the social sciences will always hold a soft spot in my heart, I also have plenty of experience working with clients from a wide range of disciplines, including medicine, business, and the lab sciences. In my experience, "non-experts" often catch writing issues that those within a discipline can overlook. The best way to improve readability, clarity, and the strength of an argument is to have a fresh set of eyes take a look. Not an academic? No worries! I'm also happy to lend a helping hand to other forms of writing, from college essays to website content. While my own interests may leave me stuck in an ivory tower forever, the writing and research skills I've developed along the way are applicable to endless fields and topics. I have a particularly strong background in editing application essays, ranging from prospective university students to medical school applicants.

My name is Jan Niklas Huhn, I am a freelancer focusing on academic research and writing. I graduated from Leiden University with two MAs in International Relations and Asian Studies. Currently I am in the process of obtaining my PhD in Political Science from Siegen University. I have been working as a freelancer for about two years now. My clients ranged from publishers to consultant agencies and individual researcher. I am well versed in both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Thanks to may many years within academia I am able to write publication level literature reviews for any topic. While much of my focus regarding political science and international relation is on Asia and Europe/ North America I have a working knowledge of current affairs globally. This knowledge is supplemented by my expertise in political theory and its application. Since I have finished high school I have been engaged in various forms of education. This included work as a teacher in India, China Vietnam and the Netherlands. While working at an Australian school in Vietnam I was trusted with the role of coordinator for humanities and social sciences. I was mostly teaching the Australian curriculum, which I modified to meet the demands of the students as well as the accreditation office of Western Australia. However I was also deeply involved in the creation and implementation of the American History curriculum of the American Diploma program at the school.
