At the heart of every business are customers. At Consumer Intelligence, we gather unique data and intelligence about consumers and companies to understand the market. Whether in the UK or in our other markets around the world, our unique collection of company data helps all the players understand the competitive landscape.
We blend this with our consumer research, so we know what people are selling and we know what people are buying. Put those two things together and the magic begins.
Governments and regulators, including the FCA, publish and rely upon our data to help manage the market and the economy.
Our unique perspective on your world is from the outside in. We help you succeed by using specifically tailored market data to create actionable insight. Then our Advisory service not only scans for opportunities — it puts you on the path to capturing them and executing them.
We appreciate that you are different, it is those differences that make all companies special. That is why we focus on working in partnership with you to understand your goals, tools and priorities first. We then shape the insight that will allow you to execute against and iterate your plan.
