About

Global market leader in programmatic survey sample and digital insights exchange, operating the world's largest consumer research network

Cint is a Stockholm-headquartered software company that powers the digital research and insights industry through its proprietary exchange platform. The company operates the world's largest consumer network for survey-based research, connecting market researchers, brands, and agencies with hundreds of millions of opted-in survey respondents across more than 130 countries. Its technology enables programmatic access to consumer opinions, making primary research faster, more scalable, and more cost-effective than traditional methods. Cint's platform serves as a marketplace and SaaS solution, allowing clients to programmatically buy and sell survey sample through its Lucid Exchange and Cint Exchange infrastructure. The company significantly expanded its scale and capabilities through the acquisition of Lucid in 2021, a move that solidified its position as the dominant player in the programmatic survey sample market. This acquisition brought together two of the largest sample exchanges globally, creating a combined entity with unmatched reach and panel diversity. In the AdTech and market research ecosystem, Cint plays a critical role by enabling brand lift measurement, audience insights, ad effectiveness studies, and consumer behavior research. Its technology integrates with major research platforms, data providers, and media companies, making it a foundational layer for insights-driven advertising and marketing decisions. Cint is publicly traded on Nasdaq Stockholm and continues to expand its product suite to address the growing demand for real-time, high-quality consumer data.
