Opinium is opening an NYC office to help its US clients, brands and agencies connect better with consumers.

The 2020s are set to be one of the most exciting and fast-paced decades yet, and we’re thrilled to be on the ground in New York for the start of it. Our US launch represents the continued expansion of our global capabilities.

As our client Jamie McCracken from Protein wrote in our 2019 Most Connected Brands Report: "The biggest opportunity and issue facing brands today is their changing relationship with consumers. In the past, the brand-consumer relationship was very much top-down, brands were completely in control as they defined and constructed aspirational worlds that their consumers bought into without too much thought. Now, we’re witnessing a shift in power as increasingly conscious and informed individuals move away from blind allegiances to brands and begin to explore what’s personally right for them.

"We’re entering a consumer-first landscape where relationships with brands are symbiotic, not top-down, and based on a system of shared ideals, values and mutually beneficial interactions. Consumers’ expectations of brands have exponentially increased. This increase in expectations is being driven by three key consumer changes – a desire for action, a movement towards self-realization and a need for subjectivity." Read more here.
