Sales Director to support the expansion of the company in the UK market. He will
join Richard Thornton, Managing Director, and Kevin Pickett, Account Manager, formerly
of Nielsen and the Online Research Unit in Australia, at Cint UK’s new offices in
Tottenham Court Road, London.
Cint, a global supplier of highly efficient and high quality online research solutions,
including Cint Panel Exchange, its online panel marketplace for trading sample access
- has been expanding its operations across Europe and the US during the last year
with the opening of 8 new offices.
Previously, Hughes worked with CfMC, a US research software developer, which he
joined in 2004 to grow and maintain the company's European presence, including selling
its service bureau offering to MR agencies and other client sectors. Hughes extensive
knowledge of the market research industry was built up during his earlier role as
Marketing Manager for the BMRA. He is also an active board member of the Research
Club, an international networking event aimed exclusively at the research industry.
Stephen Hughes, who has a BA in Business Management from Lancaster University, commented

Research Now Senior Executive Leaves To Start New Agency
30. March 2009
Charles Pearson To Launch EasyInsites - a Full Service Agency Offering Easier
and More Cost Effective Custom Panel Solutions
London, 30th March 2009: Charles Pearson, formerly of Research Now, today announced
the launch of a new research agency based in the UK but with global reach focusing
on building easier and more cost effective custom panel solutions. Charles will
be joined by Jo Winning who left Research Now as Client Development Director earlier
this year.
Charles joined Research Now in 2006 and was instrumental in building up their organic
business in the US, overseeing tremendous growth in their US revenues, staffing
and office network. Most recently, Charles had been focused on panel excellence,
helping the firm roll out initiatives such as digital fingerprinting and keeping
Research Now at the forefront of the panel quality debate. Jo Winning was one of
the first employees at Research Now 4 years ago and contributed greatly to their
substantial growth in the UK market.
The new agency, where Charles will be the Founder/Managing Director and Jo the Director
of Sales, will be called EasyInsites and will use Cint AB’s online research technology
to sell directly to corporate end clients. Cint is one of the fastest growing and
innovative software companies in the online market research industry. The approach
will enable corporate end clients to conduct more research on their customers and
employees in a most cost effective manner by easily empaneling these audiences and
allowing other researchers to access them through the Cint Panel Exchange marketplace
for a fee. Corporate clients can easily set permissions in order to control access
to their panellists.
Commenting on the launch of EasyInsites, Bo Mattsson -- Founder and CEO of Cint
AB – said: “EasyInsites is an exciting new agency that is using the latest technological
advances to offer corporate end clients and organizations customized time and cost
efficient market research solutions. Clients can now stay ahead in terms of customer
and market feedback, with a much lower investment than they are use to and with
much more control over their market research processes.”
EasyInsites will also use other unique technology from Cint AB, including Cint Automated
Tracker which will dramatically reduce the cost of running tracking projects by
removing the need for dedicated project management staff for sampling and monitoring
field progress. This feature is particularly beneficial to generate Balanced Scorecards
which are increasingly in demand within the HR industry. Additional automated, easier,
and more cost effective online solutions will be introduced over time including
EasyPoll -- an online Omnibus-type product that will be offered either in full serve
or self serve modes whereby clients can pose questions and have fast answers based
on representative or targeted samples from practically anywhere in the world. This
product will access sample from the Cint Panel Exchange which currently contains
hundreds of panels with over 2 million active panellists in over 30 countries.
Commenting on the opportunity ahead for EasyInsites, Charles Pearson said: “One
of the most significant obstacles for corporate clients and organizations in considering
custom panels is cost. Cint’s technology will be the basis for our product offering
called EasyXchange which enables a client to offset these custom panel costs by
easily facilitating the monetization of these panellists. This means that clients
will be able to conduct more research, more often, and all at a lower cost. Combined
with Cint Automated Tracker for running tracker projects in a more automated manner
without as much need for human intervention along with the application of other
technologies, EasyInsites will be able to offer unique approaches that are particularly
important for all businesses today who are under financial pressure to make better
use of their research spending whilst providing more timely insights.”
EasyInsites will be headquartered in Guildford, Surrey which is also the UK headquarters
of several major corporates such as Colgate-Palmolive, Ericsson, Electronic Arts,
and Standard Life.
