Rakuten Insight Global Expands to Romania

Tokyo-headquartered online research firm Rakuten Insight Global has opened an office in Bucharest, Romania.

Rakuten Insight Global was formed last year when eCommerce and data group Rakuten merged its two online research companies, Rakuten Research and AIP Corporation, under a single brand. The firm's new Bucharest operation will operate as a client service and operations hub to drive business development and provide multi-functional operational support for clients based across Europe. It is the company's second location in Europe and is a branch of the London office, which opened in 2010.

Neil Cantle (pictured), who also oversees the Rakuten Insight London Office, will lead the Bucharest team of sales and project managers. Commenting on the launch, Cantle said: 'We look forward to continuing to provide the highest standards of service for our clients' research needs in Asia on this next stage of our journey.'
