FOCUSVISION DIRECTOR SELECTED FOR ESOMAR COMMITTEE

Stamford, CT (January 3, 2007) – FocusVision Worldwide, the leading provider of video transmission, recording and analytic tools for the qualitative market research industry, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dan Foreman, Managing Director, FocusVision Europe, to ESOMAR’s Observation Project Team. Dan is one of seven researchers selected to serve on this high-profile committee.

ESOMAR is the world organisation for enabling better research into markets, consumers and societies. Leading industry innovation and self-regulation since 1948, ESOMAR promotes the use of professional standards that govern the way market research is conducted. Currently, guidelines on Observational Research do not exist and are needed to better protect respondent privacy. By drafting these guidelines, the Observation Project Team is educating and empowering ESOMAR’s 4,000 members and the market research industry on a critical subject.

Mr. Foreman draws upon an extensive market research background, which will enable him to bring a rich perspective to this new role. Previously, Mr. Foreman was Planning Director at WFCA Integrated, Director at Incite Marketing Planning, European MR Manager at Kimberly-Clark, Project Director at Added Value and Senior Research Executive at Research International (volume forecasting [MicroTest] team).

Mr. Foreman holds a BSc degree in Psychology and Mathematics. Mr. Foreman has presented at WPP Conferences, Added Value Academy, University of Leicester Seminars, and was a key contributor to the 1996 ESOMAR Congress paper 'Turning Swords into Plough Shares.' Mr. Foreman has had research articles published in Research (2002, 2004) and Financial Marketing (2004).

Mr. Foreman got off to a quick start by sharing his views along with other members of the Project Team in the “Big Brother is surfing with you” article published in the October issue of ESOMAR’s Research World magazine. You can read the full article by clicking here.
