Bergamo, Italy-based full service insights agency MPS Evolving Research has appointed Kantar research veteran Abhi Roy as International Client Director, with a remit to grow the business worldwide.

The independent agency offers bespoke research & strategy, has a 'strong European focus', and offers expertise in market, audience and behavioural insight, user experience research and design, and data analytics. The firm has a sister company, digital-focused communication agency NT Next and is a shareholder and exclusive partner of AGMR, a global network of companies spanning more than 25 countries.

Based in London since 2008, he has also worked at Future Thinking, Zinklar and most recently as Chief Client Officer at Focus Insights.
