Company Description

YouGov is an international research data and analytics group.

We help the world's most recognised brands, media owners and agencies to plan, activate and track better marketing activities.

As pioneers of online market research, we have been building an ever-growing source of consumer data for the past twenty years.

Creating the richest and most complete understanding of your customers' complex lives.

We call it living data.

We are driven by a set of shared values.

We are fast, fearless and innovative.

We work diligently to get it right.

We are guided by accuracy, ethics and proven methodologies.

We respect and trust each other, and bring these values into everything that we do.

Unlike our competitors, we understand how opinions and trends change from day-to-day, week-to-week and year-to-year.

That's why we have built a platform that gets you right to the source for reliable, accurate data that reflects the reality of a complicated world.

Imagine if you could know what 17 million+ people in over 55 markets were thinking now?

Or last week?

And do so again and again?

That's why we're different.

Rather than commissioned research that's already out-of-date by the time it reaches someone's inbox, our data is alive.

So, no matter how quickly things change, our clients are always in the know.

YouGov.

Living Consumer Intelligence.
