Ipsos and Thomson Reuters become partners to provide intelligent information in the world

Paris, March 19, 2009 – Ipsos and Thomson Reuters announce today that they have entered into a relationship to provide regular intelligent information about behaviours, attitudes and opinions of consumers and citizens.

Ipsos and Thomson Reuters will undertake regular multi-country polling on a wide-range of topics including consumer attitudes and issues, economic confidence, product and service ratings, and other timely occurrences in geopolitics and policy developments, all of which will be reported on by Reuters.

With aggressive advances in technology, and the global reach and coordination of Ipsos offices and operations in 64 countries around the world, rapid turnaround market and opinion research takes place on behalf of Ipsos clients in 100 countries on an annual basis.

"We believe our two companies can bring to bear enormous resources that will regularly take the pulse of countries that comprise 75% of the world's GDP" said Darrell Bricker, President and CEO of Ipsos Global Public Affairs. "Our combined ability to collect and disseminate knowledge to people, market professionals, decision makers and organizations around the world will make our relationship valuable and exciting" he said.

"At a time when drastic upheaval and change is affecting populations all around the world, this polling will provide critical analysis and insight into the level of confidence among citizens and consumers on issues ranging from geopolitics to the economy, and will provide Reuters with important data to both explore and report on," said Richard Baum, Global Editor, Consumer Media, Thomson Reuters.
