InsightX is an independent due diligence, reaction and sentiment analysis agency. We believe that good choices are powered by high-quality, in-depth intelligence.
Data is everywhere. But actionable information delivered in a clear and understandable format requires skills that only a specialist like InsightX can provide.
Our team has been delivering in-depth intelligence to some of the biggest names in sport, the arts and business since 2014. Leading companies, clubs, agencies, rights holders and institutions trust us to guide their decisions when partnering with suppliers, considering player transfers, activating sponsorships, using endorsers and in mergers and acquisitions.
We use a global research team working in more than 40 languages backed by a network of journalists who perform on-the-ground inquiries in every major jurisdiction to deliver clear and detailed information and analysis which is unmatched by any other provider. Where others will provide you with machine-driven data pulled from databases, InsightX leaves no stone unturned to build a complete picture of your subject.
If you would like to see how InsightX’s approach can help you make better decisions in sponsorships, partnerships, M&A and campaigns, then please get in touch.
We will build a complete picture of a third party whether that is an individual, an organisation, a city or even a country.
Our specialists will detail any risks or threats a relationship represents to your reputation, your business or wider sentiment.
InsightX’s understanding of its clients’ specific needs and sensibilities enables us to recommend specific actions to meet any potential challenges.
