Global Research

We specialize in global thought leadership studies that position our clients as leaders on important issues, shape brand strategy, and earn media headlines. Doing multi-country, multi-stakeholder thought leadership of the highest quality requires scale, research science, and a deep understanding of cultural, language, and technological differences across markets.

Measurement Analytics

Reputation Leaders takes a rigorous approach to tracking and building a reputation, bringing hard numbers to a ‘soft science’. We quantify the perceptions and gaps around reputation to deliver recommendations that link reputation to business outcomes; such as the employer of choice, customer advocacy, positive media, investor support and regulatory licence to operate.
