Core vertical

Media, Publishing & Events Data Research

Build accurate audience, subscriber, advertiser, exhibitor, speaker, sponsor and professional databases across complex media and event markets.

Industry challenges

What Makes This Market Hard

  • Audience files decay faster than editorial and event cycles can correct them
  • Advertiser and sponsor contacts move between agencies and brands
  • Exhibitor and speaker data is scattered across event microsites and archives
  • Subscriber records lack the firmographics needed for rate-card segmentation
  • Circulation and audience claims need defensible, researched sources

Our approach

How We Research It

We research and verify the people and organisations behind media audiences: subscribers, advertisers, agencies, exhibitors, speakers and sponsors. Records are profiled with the firmographics that matter for audience segmentation and rate-card positioning, then quality-checked before delivery.
