After meeting five requirements such as being an FD Gazellen 2022, having at least 25% of the total turnover from abroad and having overall turnover growth from 2020 to 2022 of at least 25%, 53 companies were nominated for this freshly introduced award.

„The ambition to be the best marketing research agency is driving us forward to both local and international success. Thanks to following our strategy pillars, especially DVJ way of working, being client-centric, and focusing on knowledge and innovation, we are able to perform such growth. During the past 7 years, we have expanded from our office in Utrecht (the Netherlands) to London (the UK), Hamburg (Germany), and Helsinborg (Sweden), and have built long-lasting relationships with top global and local brands.“ explains the CEO of DVJ Insights, Lucas Hulsebos.

Lucas continues: „One of the most interesting aspects of our company is that our goal is to become THE trusted advisor in the areas of brand and communication, innovation, and shopper behaviour. Growth is more of a result of our strategy rather than a goal. As a result, it is a recognition of all the hard work and wonderful people who have chosen to be a part of this success. I am very proud of all the hard-working people that try to support clients in their important decisions. I believe that the fact that we are the only marketing research firm on the list is a sign that we do the right things the right way.“
