Colmar Brunton shines at Research Association Effectiveness Awards 2018

Colmar Brunton collected an impressive five awards at the New Zealand Research Association Effectiveness Awards, held at the Hilton on Auckland’s waterfront on Friday 17 August 2018.

In total, Colmar Brunton took home two platinum awards and two gold, plus received a further platinum award for a project completed for Māori Television in collaboration with Kantar TNS. In a world first for indigenous broadcasters, this complex and innovative research isolated the impact that Māori Television has on the revitalisation of te reo Māori in Aotearoa.

Jason Shoebridge, CEO of Kantar New Zealand, the parent company of Colmar Brunton, was naturally delighted with the results.

“Colmar Brunton rightly pride themselves on the impact that their work has on their clients and to see this publicly recognised is a testament to the expertise of the teams and the collaborative relationships they have with their clients.

“It is also significant that many of our award winning entries combined market research with our strengths in areas such as big data analytics and design-led thinking to deliver superior insight, which in turn led to the impact this work had on our clients’ businesses.”

The awards – held every two years – recognise excellence in research, data and insights and honour those agencies that have a real impact on their clients’ businesses.
