About Us
The company was co-founded by Alistair and Tim in 2009.
After working together at the mobile tracking company M:Metrics, they understood the potential of mobile research and its ability to connect with audiences around the globe in minutes.
Since then the proprietary technology Tim and his team have developed, have enabled the company to recruit a large base of profiled global respondents.
So far we have delivered over 5 million surveys across 54 countries and are continuing to grow.
Previously a Senior Mobile Analyst at comScore and one of the first employees of M:Metrics (prior to its $50m sale to comScore) Alistair has held a variety of roles including business development, client services and product management. When he does have some spare time, you'll find him on a mountain or under the sea.
Tim leads technical development for On Device Research. He has a masters in evolutionary robotics and previously was a member of the product development team at M:Metrics. Tim likes pirates (and pilates).
Jamie started his career at BMRB International and then, after completing his Business and Marketing degree, he joined Hall and Partners working on continuous brand tracking, copy testing and attitudinal segmentation projects. He left after 9 years and now works as our client service manager. When he's not chained to his desk researching, you'll find him fishing.
After working in the music and entertainment industry, Stratos followed his interest in mobile research and joined us in February 2011. He uses his strong analytical skills and knowledge of the mobile and digital media industry, to manage our operations team. In his spare time he plays table football and likes to go to concerts/festivals.

Sarah now works as our marketing manager, and in her spare time likes to go to the gym and visit the latest art exhibitions.
Siim is the product manager of our self-service mobile survey tool Ansr.io. When not talking to customers he puts his 10 years of experience in building web and mobile products to good use, arm wrestling feature requests into our product roadmap. He’s an avid cyclist and a proud cat herder.
Robert graduated with a degree in mathematics and has a keen eye for numbers and solving numerical problems. He’s interested in statistical facts and is an Excel wizard. When he is not number crunching, he is watching sports (go Arsenal!).
Zack graduated with a BA Fine Art degree from Sheffield Hallam. He has always had a keen interest in technology and has been working with Internet companies for twelve years. Zack joined us in 2011 as a developer and now specialises in Python, JavaScript, CSS3.

Clare graduated with a first in Philosophy and found her way in to market research in 2004 at the then start-up company Research Now. She spent five years helping to grow the Research Now sales team and the business in the UK and the USA. Since then Clare has approached market research panels from different angles at Verve, specialists in communities and panels, panel technology provider Cint and global sample provider SSI. When not at work you can find her eating, cycling and practicing yoga in roughly equal measures.
