InterMedia was founded as a 501C3 corporation in 1996, bringing together staff with unmatched media and opinion research expertise who had formerly worked for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Voice of America and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
Since 1996, we have built upon our specialized international audience research skills, branching out into additional areas of media, strategic communications, market research and consulting, and research and evaluation for the international development community.
At InterMedia, we treat each project as a long-term partnership with our clients. We provide strategic advice based on highest-quality research, linking communicators with their audiences. We’re recognized for the integrity, global breadth and depth of our research:
- We are active year-round in more than 60 countries worldwide, conducting a robust, consistent program of research and analysis, as well as custom projects.
- We have a global network of local research partners and contacts and a rich data archive of more than 600 media and opinion surveys.
- We specialize in working with difficult-to-access populations, including those in Afghanistan, Belarus, Bosnia, Cambodia, Chechnya, China, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Nigeria and Pakistan.
InterMedia’s traditional niche is research and evaluation in transitional and developing societies worldwide, focusing on media and communications. Today, InterMedia is growing almost as fast as the definition of media and communication is evolving.
InterMedia’s professionals are on the ground tracking trends and technologies—word-of-mouth and influencers, outreach initiatives and strategic relationship-building, blogs and wi-fi, “Googling,” interactive media, citizen journalists and social networks.
InterMedia is a non-partisan, non-governmental organization. Our clients include government, international development organizations, media and NGOs.
