2005-10-20
VANCOUVER, BC – Sensus Research Inc., one of the largest privately owned and operated marketing research firms in Western Canada, has garnered the 19th spot in Business in Vancouver’s list of the top 50 fastest-growing companies.
Ranked by percentage growth in revenue between 2000 and 2004, Sensus has increased its earnings by 361%. Founded in 1989 with offices located in Vancouver and Abbotsford, Sensus provides marketing research and customer experience measurement solutions for local, national and international clients.
“I’m thrilled at the growth we’ve experienced,” says President Rob Dawson. “I want to thank both the wonderful clients we’ve been privileged to serve as well as the highly dedicated and skilled staff that makes Sensus Research the firm it has become.”
Sensus provides many services, some of which include customer profiling; brand and advertising performance measurement; market evaluation and intelligence; loyalty and satisfaction research and mystery shopping.
“It is exciting to think it was all started by our founder, Eric Vanderham, in the basement of his parent’s home with a credit card and big dreams,” says Peter Reek, Vice President and General Manager. “This milestone reminds us that our current vision for Sensus’ future is certainly attainable.”
The research firm was re-branded as Sensus Research Inc. in January as part of a renewed focus to provide strategic insight through marketing-related research. Sensus is intent on continued growth with its customer-centric service model.
“Our specialization in marketing-focused research meets the recent and likely continued growth trends in the industry,” says Reek. “We have seen a need for this type of specialized service amongst clients in British Columbia and beyond.”
“The bottom line is that we have an incredible passion for what we do,” says Dawson. “Each person in the Sensus team enjoys the quest for knowledge—new knowledge that uncovers hidden factors that help our clients make informed decisions.”
The Sensus team consists of 12 people, all with a variety of backgrounds in market research, statistical analysis, strategic planning and marketing consulting.
“We are excited about what’s to come for our team and the industry,” says Dawson. “This recognition is not a cause to rest, but rather an opportunity to know we really can reach our goals no matter how big they are.”
