Luck lectures at industry conferences for groups such as the Advertising Research Foundation, the Council of American Survey Research Organizations and the Marketing Research Association.[4][5][6] She is considered a "top voice in market research", in part due to her regular column in the Research Business Report [7] and the ESOMAR blog, RWConnect.[8] She also serves on several industry committees and boards, such as the Interactive Research Marketing Organization.[9] She was one of the article authors for the inaugural Journal of Brand Strategy and was recently a contributor to the widely read Fast Company blog.[10][11]
