Liveminds Opens in Manila, Plans September Launch in US

London-based research technology firm Liveminds has opened a new office in Manila, in the Philippines, and it will open its first US office in Chicago in September. The firm has also made a number of appointments and promotions across the business.

Liveminds' 'Behavioural Recruitment' approach, which was awarded Best Support Service in last year's Market Research Society (MRS) Operations Awards, is used to find research participants matched on social media networks, powered by big data on two billion people in 190 countries. Company co-founder Hugh Carling (pictured) explains that the company provides a single point of contact who directly manages clients' whole recruit, and can provide multi-market quotes within 24 hours.

Through an undisclosed amount of private investment combined with revenue growth of 117% from Behavioural Recruitment in the last financial year, Liveminds has been able to open the new office in Manila, where Poch Gutierrez has joined as Behavioural Recruitment Executive, and Paul Corpuz has joined as a Developer.

Once the new US office opens, Erica Siebert, will move back to Chicago to lead the US Account Management team, after a year at Liveminds' HQ. Back in London, Lizzie Cree has been promoted to the newly created role of Head of Operations, Henry Dann heads up business development as Account Team Leader, and George Silk has joined as Account Executive. In addition, Emma Lawson heads up the Behavioural Recruitment team with responsibility for new team members Shannon Pywell, Kia Pettitt-Brandtner and Josh Booth.
