Company Description
YouGov is an international research data and analytics group.
We help the world's most recognised brands, media owners and agencies to plan, activate and track better marketing activities.
As pioneers of online market research, we have been building an ever-growing source of consumer data for the past twenty years.
Creating the richest and most complete understanding of your customers' complex lives.
We call it living data.
We are driven by a set of shared values.
We are fast, fearless and innovative.
We work diligently to get it right.
We are guided by accuracy, ethics and proven methodologies.
We respect and trust each other, and bring these values into everything that we do.
Unlike our competitors, we understand how opinions and trends change from day-to-day, week-to-week and year-to-year.
That's why we have built a platform that gets you right to the source for reliable, accurate data that reflects the reality of a complicated world.
Imagine if you could know what 17 million+ people in over 55 markets were thinking now?
Or last week?
And do so again and again?
That's why we're different.
Rather than commissioned research that's already out-of-date by the time it reaches someone's inbox, our data is alive.
So, no matter how quickly things change, our clients are always in the know.
YouGov.
Living Consumer Intelligence.
**The Culture**
Diversity and inclusion are fundamental to YouGov.
We are committed to giving the world a voice by capturing the opinions of all groups, including the ones that are often under-represented in research.
We are also committed to making sure that our products and tools are free from any bias, as accuracy is key to what we do.
None of the above can be done without having a truly diverse workforce, in an inclusive workplace.
We are very keen on attracting and retaining the best talent.
And best talent also means a diverse pool of talent, with various backgrounds and perspectives.
Supporting the wellbeing of our staff, including maintaining a good work and life balance, is important to us.
We support flexible working arrangements where appropriate for a role, with many locations offering a hybrid office-and-remote working approach.
