StrategyOne Hires Hunt as Director of Insights

In the UK, research and measurement consultancy StrategyOne - which is part of the Edelman PR network - has appointed former ICM Research Director Emily Hunt as Director of Insights, to lead its primary insights function.

StrategyOne has fourteen offices across five countries, with Europe and Middle East operations based in London, Paris, Brussels and Dubai. The firm offers a full range of customisable research solutions, including PluggedIN online communities, multi-national consumer surveys, in-depth interviews, corporate reputation tracking, and social media listening tools.

Hunt (pictured) joins from Creston-owned ICM Research, where as Research Director in the company's technology team she worked with international clients to understand technology and digital trends across EMEA, the Americas and Asia. Prior to this, she worked for Freshminds, WPP consultancy Penn Schoen Berland, and at Coatue Capital and Benenson Strategy Group in New York. She began her career as a political operative in the US.

In her new position, Hunt reports to former ICM Board Director and colleague James Turner, who was recently appointed as StrategyOne's UK MD.

Turner comments: 'I'm delighted to be able to work with Emily again and know that her understanding of communications and corporate reputation will really help the big name clients we work with. Emily is one of the few researchers I know who really understands digital and its impact on brands.'
