Our heritage
Our international PR research and insights have powered news media since 2003
To ensure maximum speed and efficiency in line with the 24/7 news cycle, we started our bespoke UK panel in 2006. This enabled us to deliver insights in as little as 48 hours and become known as International PR research experts. We quickly grew to a combined panel of over 70,000 community members which continues to go from strength to strength.
It wasn’t long before brands and organisations came to us for more detailed multi-country research and complex international market research. When the highly respected Market Research expert Mark Hodson CMRS joined us in 2018, we built a team to deliver a full service consultancy, committed to delivering gold standard quantitative and qualitative global research for news, PR and communications.
We've expanded our International PR research to 74 countries spanning 6 continents
Today, thanks to a team that combines seasoned expertise and voracious curiosity, we deliver custom surveys and complex research & consulting to global brands, national news outlets and PR & communications agencies. Our offices in London and Bristol have enabled the team to conduct international market research and multi-country research in 74 countries and many different languages.
