Why Do It?

Our Key Influencer Tracking studies provide:

Quality: we have conducted surveys among key influencers for more than two decades and are widely recognized as the leading provider of elite influencer research. We have an established reputation with key influencers - achieving special cooperation and exceptionally high response rates. The standard and quality of our samples are second to none.

Insight: we are more than data collectors. Ipsos MORI understands the attitudes and opinions of elites whose views affect your company, and helps you communicate effectively with them. We provide detailed, graphical reporting on your organisation's results in the context of your sector and competitors. Our analysis includes key performance indicators, trends, explanatory verbatim comments, and a management summary outlining the implications of the findings.

Value: our regular key influencers research surveys are sponsored by a number of organisations, greatly reducing the cost of accessing audiences that are otherwise extremely difficult to reach.

Benchmarking: we have built up a massive bank of trend data over the years, on attitudes towards more than 1,500 companies and organisations.

Flexibility: all subscribers to key influencers research surveys have access to a core set of measures, enabling them to benchmark and track performance over time. However, each subscriber can also include exclusive questions focused directly on issues affecting their businesses.

Methodology: our interviews amongst politicians, journalists and business leaders are conducted face-to-face allowing us to collect valuable and actionable verbatim commentary.
