Dr. Cate already boasts a proven track record of success working alongside Evocati PR. He played a pivotal role in designing and administering the inaugural Spud Sector Survey in 2026. Executed in collaboration with the National Potato Council and Spudman Magazine, this landmark survey demonstrated a high interest for industry sentiment data by policy and lawmakers.
Building on that success, Dr. Cate recently partnered with Evocati PR to develop the Pulse on Digital Strain national survey and white paper. This research highlighted critical gaps in awareness regarding Department of Veterans Affairs eye care benefits and measured the impact of digital eye strain on the veteran community. The survey positioned our clients as thought leaders in veteran vision health while driving meaningful conversations with policymakers.
