About Ipsos MORI Reputation CentreThe Ipsos MORI Reputation Centre was established with a simple aim: to

help companies build more resilient reputations through stronger

relationships with the people who matter most to them. Our approach is

based on the understanding that research needs to be a catalyst for

positive change – providing clear and practical advice that feeds directly

into the stakeholder communications process.

The Key Influencer Tracking programme is a suite of multi-client studies

that examine the attitudes and opinions of a range of elite, opinion

forming stakeholder audiences. The first of these surveys was set up over

40 years ago and the programme has gone from strength to strength

ever since. Further details can be found at
