History

edit

In 1999, Edelman launched StrategyOne, a market research firm that would live under its Daniel J. Edelman Inc. holding company.[2] A year later, it launched the first instalment of the Edelman Trust Barometer.[3]

StrategyOne acquired a research firm in 2011 called PluggedIN, which specialized in research online communities.[4]

In 2012, StrategyOne was subsumed into a newly-launched research venture, Edelman Berland. The new venture took its name from leading industry figure Michael Berland, who was appointed as its CEO.[5][6]

Upon Michael Berland leaving in 2016, the firm renamed itself Edelman Intelligence, under Antoine Harary's leadership.[7] It announced in 2020 that it was changing its name to Edelman Data & Intelligence.[8]

Notable research

Its research has been highlighted in a number of major news outlets including the Wall Street Journal,[9] the New York Times,[10] the Washington Post,[11] and USA Today.[12]

Edelman Data & Intelligence is the research company behind the Edelman Trust Barometer, an international study conducted in 25 countries that focuses on the principles of trust in business, government, media and NGOs.[13] The study has been running every year since 2000.[3]
