Audience Recruitment

From 100 to 100,000, we are experts in both recruiting audiences, and managing those participants at scale. With demographic and geographical filtering, and proprietary digital tools, we deliver highly effective research and word of mouth campaigns.

Word Of Mouth Campaigns

Working with our own databases as well as media and brand partners, we drive audiences to see films & shows before public release. We've kickstarted word of mouth for hundreds of titles including many award winners and box office sensations.

Why Us?

Through everything we do, our purpose is to deliver better commercial results for our clients. When we’re helping to define the best edit or the right target market through a research event. When we’re driving positive word of mouth and social amplification through a national audience recruit. Or when we’re delivering vast reach through a publicity event or strategic brand partnership.

We’re driven and passionate about our work. And while we maintain a large bluechip client base that has believed in us since our inception two decades ago, we're as comfortable working with an international heavyweight on a national cross-media campaign, as we are guiding a new film maker through their first research project.
