I really like the innovations. It’s great to see what other companies are doing, and bringing the trends to life.

Do you offer webinars?
We run regular webinars, which are free to attend to anyone, not just membership holders. Catch up on previous webinars and register for the next ones here.
What’s your research methodology?
We use an online methodology using panel based recruitment. Samples are provided by ICM Unlimited, GMI and their trusted partners. Surveys are designed to be interactive and accessible by respondents via mobile, desktop and tablet devices. Interlocking quotas are set on age, gender and region and data is then weighted to be nationally representative on age, gender and region for the offline population per market.
What’s adjusted data?
In international market research, base levels of enthusiasm vary significantly between countries due to cultural differences, semantics and differing optimism levels. We adjust our data with an intelligent algorithm that allows you to make meaningful comparisons between markets on a global chart. When you focus on one specific country, we show reported data.
How do I see Baby Boomers in global data?
You might have spotted that Boomers have disappeared from our global charts because our default age bracket is 16-64 (which cuts through Boomers). You can still access Boomer data by going to the advanced tab on any chart and selecting 16+ instead – watch our 10 second video showing you how here.
