In Washington, decision intelligence company Morning Consult has announced the promotion of four senior execs, to support investment in AI technologies across both its Intelligence and Custom Research business lines.

Morning Consult's tools are used by business, financial and government clients to analyze public sentiment, brand performance and consumer behavior. The firm reported a 112% year-on-year increase in sales of AI-driven products in the second quarter, and has introduced a number of new platform features. Its AI capabilities are trained on data from its more than 80 million annual surveys conducted in more than 40 countries, and new AI agents designed for near-instant end-to-end research are scheduled for release later this year.

Jocelyn Powers has been promoted to Chief Revenue Officer for the company's Intelligence Business Unit, where she will oversee expanding investment in business development, account executive, and customer success teams. Lisa Kiefer has been promoted to Chief Revenue Officer for the Research Solutions Business Unit, overseeing the custom research solutions including those using AI-driven tools.

Meanwhile Ryan Bien has been promoted to SVP, Research Operations & Analytics, leading process improvement and AI implementation across the custom research business; and Bill Pink to SVP, Brand and Data Strategy, with a remit covering applications for audience, brand, campaign and reputation data.

CEO Michael Ramlet says the company is 'redefining how global organizations access and apply decision intelligence,' and adds: 'these leaders have each played a critical role in that transformation. As we expand our AI capabilities, this team will be essential in delivering the next chapter of growth and innovation for global business, financial, and government leaders.'
