GlobalWebIndex is a technology company founded by Tom Smith in 2009 that provides audience profiling data to publishers, media agencies and marketers around the world.[1] GlobalWebIndex profiles consumers across 40 countries with a panel of 18m connected consumers.[2]

History

In October 2012, GlobalWebIndex surprised social media analysts and commentators by claiming that Twitter and Facebook had big followings in China and Vietnam (later lift the ban on Facebook) – countries where those social networks are blocked by their respective governments. The story was picked up by various news outlets including Huffington Post, Bloomberg and the Financial Times, where the rise of VPN has been attributed as the primary enabler for Chinese internet users circumventing website blocks.[3]

Data Sources

GlobalWebIndex combines the survey data from 18 million panelists with advanced analytics and data science to provide marketers with a insight. The tool collects data in demographics, online behavior, device access, media consumption, social media, and marketing touch points – after which it presents data through charts and graphs. The user-friendly data presentation web interfaces was developed by the software house Netguru.[4]
