"We don't just collect data, we connect data": YouGov is an international market research group founded on a simple idea: the more people involved in the decisions of institutions and businesses we interact with every day, the better those decisions will be.
YouGov's data originates from our proprietary panel of over 24 million individuals worldwide. We blend this continuous flow of data with our research expertise across various industries to provide clients with relevant information and analytical tools for strategic decision-making.
We opened our French office in Paris in October 2011, and the team now consists of over 45 professionals.
