VERVE – the specialist in customer advisory panels and online communities London Vacancy – Senior Research Manager Introduction Verve is an innovative marketing services company that combines research, marketing, technology and panel management to help brands engage with their customers in an entirely new way.

We specialise in creating,

managing and maintaining online environments – customer advisory panels and communities - where brands can talk to their customers about whatever they want, whenever they want. We help our clients build a more informed picture of their customers.

We help our clients make better decisions about products, services, positioning,

advertising… and pretty much anything else. We put the voice of the customer on their desktops. We help understand and amplify positive customer experiences.

We’re called Verve for a reason, so if you’re the sort of person who loves a challenge, won’t stop until they’ve succeeded and loves working out how to make things better we’d love to hear from you.

The name itself captures our approach and attitude to the way we live life and the way in which we do business.

Verve is different to other agencies in that we are raising the game in terms of service, people and innovation.

We believe in structuring our business around our clients’ needs, whilst ensuring that projects are delivered consistently end-to-end. We believe strongly in accountability, a client’s experience with Verve will always be with a person rather than a process.

We believe strongly in partnership – not just with our clients, but right across our whole team. Our partnership beliefs are supported by a very strong, positive and inspiring culture. Working at Verve is all about doing amazing things for clients and challenging ourselves to continually improve how we do things. And, importantly, having fun while doing it!

In terms of innovation, we want to make sure that we’re always bringing added “verve” to clients in the future, as well as today. Continuous improvement, innovation and invention are at the heart of our organisation. We’re constantly challenging ourselves to become better. We take inspiration from our work with clients to innovate and develop new products and services to save our clients money. This combination of partnership and inspiring culture means that our team really is revved up and raring to deliver more for our clients.
