Who We Are

We conduct reliable media, content and technology research to the highest technical standards, in the UK and internationally

Ipsos MediaCT plays a prominent role within media and communications research, holding key industry audience measurement contracts and conducting bespoke research to assist our clients in informing their strategic decisions. We work across all media, technology and entertainment sectors and our teams of experts have extensive experience, partnering with our clients to gain a better understanding of this challenging industry. We have particular expertise in sampling minority audiences that are usually difficult to reach, such as senior business people, high income consumers, ethnic minorities, other groups that are socially excluded, slow technology adopters and homes that receive different radio and TV platforms.

Using a wide variety of research techniques, we help individual media owners, content owner studios, technology companies, agencies and advertisers address issues such as editorial and programming, advertising, audience profiling and music tastes, market positioning, piracy, high definition and theatrical markets, new product and programme development and license applications. Brief introductions to the work we do are included here but we pride ourselves on designing the most appropriate solutions to meet all aspects of your research needs. Please do contact us if you would like to find out more, or if you have a research proposition you would like to explore.

Industry contracts and syndicated surveys

We are involved in running all the major media audience measurement surveys, including the National Readership Survey (NRS), the Outdoor Measurement Survey (Postar), the Establishment Survey for the TV Measurement Panel (BARB) and Europe's largest and most complex survey – the Radio Audience Measurement Survey (RAJAR).

In addition, media owners, ad agencies and advertisers use our regular multi-country syndicated surveys of business leaders and opinion formers for media planning.  The Business Elite Surveys have been running since the 1970s and survey the top business executives globally.
