GWI’s Amazing Product

GlobalWebIndex (GWI) is a leading technology-enabled market research business headquartered in London, UK. The company was founded by Tom Smith in 2009 after he had spent nearly a decade leading consumer insights at a large global agency. Through his experience working with incumbent market research companies on his clients’ behalf, Tom recognized a growing need for marketers to better understand their digital audiences in a much more granular and real-time manner, and the potential for a technology-driven approach to upend the way market research had been gathered for decades. Since Tom launched GWI to serve this need, it has become one of the world’s largest market research studies on the digital consumer, sourcing rich data from a global panel of 22 million internet users across 42 countries. The company delivers audience profiling data at greater speed, scale and granularity, and is used by the leading marketing agencies, publishers and brands worldwide.
