Our take
What began as a single poll looking at the American youth has become one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America, as previously classified by Deloitte. Morning Consult is a global decision intelligence company that specialises in online survey research technology.
It has become a first port of call for many industry leaders who want access to its technology that offers insights, news, and analysis at speed and scale. This position is down to the company’s access to over 100 million people globally, generating tens of thousands of daily interviews. Morning Consult's impressive client base represents more than half of the Fortune 500, including many companies that feature in the Top 10 in their respective fields.
Unlocking unicorn status in 2021, this new status and capital will see its development of additional AI applications whilst continuing to grow its global data collection infrastructure. Despite a round of layoffs in 2024 undertaken to aid profitability and product development, the company will maintain its top-tier seat within the rapidly-growing decision intelligence market.
