About Us

We’re here to help you

Founded in 2006, we’re the marketeer’s reference point – a highly experienced, agile, online market research agency, using carefully prepared surveys to help solve your marketing problems.

We don’t just ask the questions, we analyse them using our collective experience and insight to find the meaning behind the responses. We can also benchmark the results against your competitors, to give you unparalleled insight into how you’re performing in your specific market.

Our complete, in-depth service goes way beyond the usual survey research, with a proven methodology that helps us work closely with you to establish the best approach to your customers and your marketing.

And our customer service is second to none – 99% of our customers say they’d recommend us to others.

Aris TsontzosData Protection Trainer, Consultant & Speaker, Aris Does Data

Aris was a senior-level database marketing person, operating predominantly and most recently within the charity sector. He then decided to take his enthusiasm for data protection to anyone willing to listen. Since then he’s been travelling around the country running training workshops, mostly for small charities, debunking and describing in plain English what the GDPR actually is, what it says, what that means for organisations big and small, and how to prepare for it. Aris has a shamelessly no-nonsense approach, that means no waffle, no scaremongering and an honest approach to data protection.
