Pros

Connections with key decision makers at the largest CPG companies in the world. Opportunities to work across the many service areas of The Nielsen Company. The opportunity to bring multiple research capabilities and services to the client with One Voice.

Cons

With its syndicated mentality, Nielsen senior management struggled to understand why revenues from a custom based service did not increase on an annual basis at the same level as syndicated services. Our custom group was shuffled multiple times within the company until it recently found a home within the Shopper/Consumer Insights area.
