04/05/2011 - Remembering Margaret (Hicks) Feit, 1945-2011
Marisa Pope, CEO and President of Jackson Associates, sadly acknowledges the passing of her friend and mentor, Margaret (Hicks) Feit, MRA member and active owner and president of Jackson Associates from 1983 to 2006. Margaret passed away peacefully on April 4, 2011 after having recently suffered a massive brain hemorrhage.
Although Margaret left the profession in 2006, her impact on our industry will always be remembered. She was a visionary and entrepreneur, and she was instrumental in transforming the design and functionality of qualitative research facilities throughout our industry. In 1992 she opened a 20,000 square foot facility in Atlanta, the size and scope of which was unprecedented. It was a facility so well-designed it has undergone only minor modifications in almost 20 years.
Throughout the nineties she worked diligently to build the business, and Jackson eventually had a presence across seven locations in the Southeast. She had an uncanny ability to see future trends in research. Just before the mall intercept landscape shifted from locally operated offices to national chains, Margaret made the decision to pull out of intercept and focus Jackson’s considerable talent on its qualitative endeavors in Atlanta.
As for Margaret’s personal interests, she was an avid baseball fan, and for years she enjoyed and generously shared season tickets to Atlanta Braves games with clients and staff. She also amassed a museum-quality collection of blown glass ornaments that adorned her home throughout various seasons. Some ornaments remained on display year-round, and a visit to Margaret’s home during the Christmas season was a magical sight to behold.
Above all, Margaret cared for her family. She is survived by her husband Mark, her children, Shelley Avant and David Smith, their spouses, 6 grandchildren, and her sister, Ann Horner.
Margaret was a mentor and a friend to many still working at Jackson Associates and in marketing research, and she will be missed.
