Something new to play with
Speaking of research, this week Mediatel Connected launched its new Consumer Surveys module.
The update takes five key UK media surveys and allows instant interrogation of questions, exploration of topic areas, and all with a simple visual approach which makes the data easy to understand and insights swift to obtain.
