Targeted audience reach
Access real-time insight into what people actually think and do from our millions of panellists around the world.
The YouGov panel allows us to recruit at speed on the basis of what people do, see or buy over time, minimizing the established problems of claimed behavior that can hinder traditional research.
We have thousands of data points on each person on our panel, whether it’s TV viewing, the charities they support, their shopping habits or websites they visit, allowing us to find the most relevant participants for your project and build a 360 view of them.
Innovative methods to anticipate trends
Through continuous panel engagement we are pioneering real-time responses. We can do this qualitatively through apps, online communities, interviews and self-recorded films.
We regularly conduct online and face-to-face focus groups on topical issues to feed into public debate. Spot the patterns to inform your future strategy, put you ahead of your competitors, and dive deeper into key topics.
