Strong Growth for EMS Agency
Amsterdam-based research agency INTERVIEW NSS increased its turnover by 17% in 2005 to more than 18m Euros, and EBIT to more than 1.9m Euros. This is the third year of growth above the market average for the firm, which runs the high profile European Media & Marketing Survey (EMS).
MD Carlo Stokx says the figures show that there is still plenty of room for an independent player within the rapidly consolidating research industry. The firm traditionally focuses on branding & media research, but Stokx cites his company's recent development of new research services in the area of contact & channel management as a contributory factor in its success.
Despite the rapid emergence of online research, the company says it has seen telephone research volumes increase further in 2005, partly as a result of the introduction of mixed-mode data collection. Its European Data Collection Center (EDCC) uses telephone and online data collection from respondents worldwide.
The company was created in the middle of 1999 following the integration of CSEM, Inter/View International and NSS Research & Consultancy. It is online at www.interview-nss.com
