In New York, Ipsos has appointed former Kantar Futures exec Don Abraham as a Partner in its strategy, marketing and innovation consulting unit Ipsos Strategy3, responsible for building a new practice area focused on the 'intersection between foresight and innovation'.

The unit provides advisory services based in consumer and market understanding, how companies can best leverage their brands in the market, how industries will evolve and change into the future, and how clients can best utilize innovation to drive growth.

We are excited to add his expertise and track record to our multi-disciplinary roster of strategists'.
