ESOMAR is a global professional association for market research and insights that was founded in 1947. [1] [a] The name ESOMAR is an abbreviation of their original name, the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research, which reflects the original catchment of the organisation. [2] ESOMAR has published an ethics and guidance code for its members since 1948, with a joint code being published with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) since 1977. [3]

History

ESOMAR was founded in 1947. [1] [a] In 1948 the first version of its code of practice for members was published. [4] In 1976 ESOMAR and the ICC determined a single code of practice would be preferable and the first joint code of practice was published in 1977, with revisions in 1986, 1994 and 2007. [3] From the revision in 2016 the title and content was changed to include data analytics. [5]

Activities

ESOMAR produces information about market, opinion, and social research as well as data analytics. [6] [7] An annual multi-day congress is held in-person, [8] [9] except in 2020 and 2021 when it was held as a virtual "Insights Festival". [10] [11]

Research World is an online platform that publishes non-commercial, original content submissions about research and practical issues relevant to marketing and business. [12] Until 2019, ESOMAR produced the Research World magazine bi-monthly, with publisher Wiley Online Library claiming a worldwide circulation of close to 20,000 with the majority of the readers in Europe. [13]

As the charity arm of ESOMAR, the ESOMAR Foundation helps non-profit organisations through research, supports market research education in developing countries and students from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds, and provides financial help to researchers in need. [14]

As a professional association, ESOMAR has several awards for market research and insights professionals. Since 2021, ESOMAR has published Insight250, a yearly award recognising 250 leaders in the industry worldwide. [15] In addition, every year ESOMAR presents several awards, [16] including the Young ESOMAR Society (YES!) Award, the Research Effectiveness Award, [17] and the ESOMAR Partner Awards.
