YouthSight Adds Eight to London Team

London-based youth insight and panel business YouthSight has hired six researchers, plus two new members for its Project Management team. This includes the appointment of former Yonder Consulting/Ipsos MORI exec Ralph Robinson as Senior Research Manager.

Acquired by Next15's data and insights group Savanta in May, YouthSight offers research focused on the under-30s. The firm also owns and runs the OpinionPanel youth research access community of more than 150,000 active members. The new hires range from entry level to senior roles. These include Research Interns Laura Hayter and Rob Sinclair; Research Assistants Sofia Andrade and Harry Wynne, who are joining on their placement years from the University of Bath; and Junior Project & Account Executive Emmanuel Lawal; who will be supporting new Project Manager Sophie Rudkin, previously a Project Manager at MR firm Censuswide.

In addition, Research Executive Lili Farkas joins from Media Measurement Limited to support Robinson (pictured), who joined in July from Yonder Consulting and spent the previous three years at Ipsos MORI. In his new role, he will be heading up the new team of youth researchers and will be largely focused on quant projects.

CEO Ben Marks comments: 'As a youth research agency, we've always felt it was important to hire bright young researchers and bring them up through the ranks. It's the right thing to do - investing in the next generation - and it also helps ensure our insights can be sense checked by the lived experience of our young team'.
