What We Do

We’re the target audience company that does things a bit differently. Our job is to cut through the noise and give you facts you can trust. Our flagship study represents more than 2 billion people around the world, and it tells you how consumers are changing; their actions, ideals, perceptions, feelings... (you get the gist).

The world’s largest (and smallest) brands, marketing agencies and media organizations rely on us every day to help them stand out. Working with the likes of Twitter, Google, Spotify, WPP, IPG and Omnicom Group, we help them find really original and in-depth insights through our one-of-a-kind platform.

And if that doesn’t float your boat, we’ve got a whole bunch of custom services to let you do more tailored research across 48 countries – asking whoever you want, whatever you want.

We’re growing fast, and we’re always on the lookout for out-of-the-box thinkers to help us do more great things.
