2. OUR MISSION

consumers worldwide.
OUR PROMISE
An uncommon sense of the consumer for
faster, smarter, more confident decisions
that drive growth
Our mission is to help our clients to have the most complete understanding of consumers worldwide. We focus on the information and insight that enable clients to make crucial business decisions every day.With innovation at the forefront, we strive to add value across both the developed and developing world as media is consumed in new ways and as clients enter new geographies.
And they need us now more than ever. Nielsen is a really exciting place to be right now. Consumers are changing… etc… just think that the graduating class 10 years ago didn’t have Facebook. And they certainly couldn’t take photos with their phone, let alone buy lunch! Imagine where we’ll be in 10 years from now! Nielsen helps make sense of this ever-evolving world for our clients.Developing products, planning rollout campaigns and creating an effective marketing mix takes talent, skill and experience. But even more important, our clients need to know all about how consumers think and behave.Every action consumers take is an opportunity to learn, and each week we measure billions of store transactions, millions of household purchases and thousands of consumer attitudes. That’s a lot to sort through, so we analyze and translate it all to provide a clear view of the consumer—and what and why he or she buys.The insights we deliver help make fact-based decisions about growth strategies. We help clients understand how theirdecisions influence consumers so they can improve results.
Wherever people are doing business today, we’re there! As our clients eye new or developing markets in the next county or across continents, it’s important to know what consumers in faraway areas watch, buy and think. That’s the very heart of our business. Nielsen is globally connected and locally savvy, collecting meaningful consumer information from 10 million consumers in more than 100 countries. And we’re expanding our coverage every day. Whatever insight clients need about consumers around the world, we know what you need to know. We help make the world a smaller place.
Our clients – from media conglomerates to big global retailers and manufacturers, rely on Nielsen’s information to make decisions every day.
Simply put, we can tell our clients what consumers watch, what they buy, and why.
The company is made up of 35,000 people, who fall into client facing and operational roles.But we’re not just names on an org chart. We are 35,000 unique minds!
