DVJ Insights’ growth recognized by the 6th FD Gazelle Award 2023

Utrecht, October 19th, 2023, DVJ Insights is, for the 6^th consecutive time proclaimed as FD Gazelle 2023, joining a unique group of businesses that have received this prize six times in a row. There are only a few businesses in the marketing research market that show eight years of uninterrupted growth, all by organic growth. The company reveals the key to its success: “It’s the result of the right strategic choices, our passionate employees, and a continuous focus on innovation. Realizing growth in all our markets including the Nordics makes us feel proud of the choices we have made.”

DVJ Insights has experienced rapid growth in recent years (100% organic growth & not through acquisitions), which has not gone unnoticed by several awards organisations, including FD Gazelle and FD Gazelle International organised by het Financieel Dagblad, the biggest Dutch financial newspaper. DVJ was able to grow in three years more than 60% meeting the strict criteria of a 20% increase in turnover for each of the three years.

Lucas Hulsebos, CEO of DVJ Insights: “For me, growth is the result of the right strategy and choices that we make. Growth is not an objective but a recognition of what we do. This is only possible by having the right people in combination with a good strategy. I am very proud of what we can realize together with our global and top local clients and the impact we create in the market. It is a pleasure to work with such a group of enthusiasts who are willing to help our clients and DVJ grow,” Lucas continues. ” I can speak for everyone at DVJ when I proudly say that the FD Gazelle Awards have become our well-captured autumn tradition. We are driven to improve and grow, which, based on our experiences, is impossible without a focus on innovation.“

BEING THE BEST RESEARCH AGENCY AND THE BEST PLACE TO WORK

The most important reason for growth is people and that is why we want to create the best place to work. Lucas:“ For me, this means that everyone is happy and creates an impact in innovation and marketing“. Integrating everyone is the core of our marketing and was also recognized by NIMA who awarded DVJ as best marketing company of the year. Our ambition as a company is to become the best in market research. Innovation has become the drive to improve and become better and better each day. Currently, this means integrating AI in all the steps of the research cycle: from method development to actionable deliverables. Our Mass qual approach is a good example; it creates added value to the research project and makes it more fun for a researcher to work on it. This year, the DVJ’s MassQual technique was presented at several industry events across Europe, to spread awareness of the wealth of insightful possibilities provided by innovative approaches.
