Our take
One of the main problems faced by the market research industry is the poor quality of data about the public. Focaldata is a UK provider of political polling and market research that aims to solve this problem by creating a reliable platform that provides a granular picture of consumers.
Focaldata's research technology platform allows customers to run consumer research themselves. Its simplicity and ease of use sets themselves apart in the market, as any member of a team can write a survey, choose an audience to send, collect answers, and analyse results.
Their clients include political organisations, news organisations and brands, such as Loaf, Yeo Valley and M&C Saatchi. Moving forwards, the company is focused on expanding their brand client base.
