Marketplace Specialist, Strategy & Research

We all know every decision should be driven by data. But what about the data you don’t know? For years, the status quo in data-driven insights has lacked visibility, moved slowly, and cost too much. Leaving organizations to make critical decisions, day after day, without the whole picture. Premise changes that.

Across 140 countries and counting, our marketplace connects communities of global smartphone users to source actionable data in real-time, cost- effectively, and with the visibility needed by leaders in some of the largest organizations on earth. 

With Premise, organizations win. And communities win, too. People can earn more from their opinions and discoveries. They can influence their cities for the better. And, unlike other data sourcing methods out there, they can do it all with full transparency that the data they’re gathering is going to an organization that values it, and values them.
