Information Insights subcontracted with the Nerland Agency public relations firm to conduct research on public opinion regarding Flint Hills Resources, the new owner of the oil refinery in North Pole. In October 2004, Information Insights conducted a household telephone survey to collect baseline information regarding the public’s opinion of Flint Hills Resources (FHR) and energy issues in general prior to any advertising on FHR’s behalf. A follow-up survey was conducted in February and March of 2006 after the advertising campaign to assess changes in the public’s opinions regarding FHR and local energy issues. Over three dozen key community and legislative informants were interviewed regarding these issues as well as how FHR might reach out to the local community. The project was completed in March 2006.
