Attest is a London-headquartered consumer research platform founded in 2015 that delivers quantitative and qualitative consumer insights to global B2C brands. Its core platform unifies Attest Measure (quantitative survey engine with dynamic crosstabs and storyboards) and Attest Explore (AI-moderated open-ended consumer interviews) under the Compass AI co-pilot, which handles survey design, results analysis, and reporting. The platform accesses 150+ million consumers across 59 markets and 70+ languages via hundreds of vetted panel providers, with a proprietary multi-layer quality control system that combines automated AI fraud detection, attention checks, behavioral assessment, and human review. Differentiators emphasized by the company include flat pricing regardless of audience targeting, unlimited seats across all tiers, and the combination of speed (surveys in minutes, results in hours) with rigorous methodology.

The business model is an annual credit-based subscription (Basic 50K, Standard 100K, Elite 200K, Custom 400K+ credits), with credits consumed per survey question answered and a 10% premium on credit top-ups. GTM combines direct enterprise field sales with mid-market self-serve onboarding, targeting Insights, Marketing, Brand, and Product teams within Financial Services, Food & Beverage, Media & Entertainment, and Consumer Goods verticals. Named customers include Netflix, JPMorgan, Nestle, Unilever, Reddit, Uniqlo, Suntory, Huel, Trustpilot, Nando's, GoCardless, and PensionBee. The company operates from London (25 Worship St, HQ) and New York (27 E 28th St) through legal entities Attest Technologies Limited (UK) and Attest Technologies, Inc. (US).

Attest has raised over $85 million in venture capital across rounds in 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, and a $64 million Series B in October 2021 led by Hedosophia alongside NEA, Episode 1 Ventures, Oxford Capital, and Schroders. In 2024 founder Jeremy King stepped into a board role as CEO and was succeeded by Todd Latham, previously at Microsoft, American Express, and Currencycloud; the company subsequently accelerated product development with the Compass AI co-pilot and Attest Explore, achieved ISO 27001 certification, and was recognized on the FT 1000 Europe's fastest-growing companies list and G2's Top 50 UK Software list. The company holds a 4.5/5 G2 rating, is GDPR and CCPA compliant, and a signatory of the Global Data Quality Excellence Pledge.

Digital Music NewsResearch Reveals Americans Watch More YouTube Over LiveTVAttest's 2026 Attention Economy Report, based on surveys of 1,000 UK and 1,000 US adults, found Americans spend more time on YouTube than live TV, with 90% accessing YouTube on a typical weekday versus 73% for live TV. Americans average 3 hours 54 minutes daily on YouTube, TikTok and social video versus 3 hours 20 minutes on streaming and live TV.TVTechnologyStudy: Americans Spend More Time Watching YouTube Than Live TVAttest's 2026 Attention Economy Report, based on surveys of 1,000 UK and 1,000 US adults, found Americans spend 3 hours 54 minutes daily on YouTube, TikTok and social video, versus 3 hours 20 minutes on live TV and streaming. The study also found 23% of Americans primarily watch YouTube on televisions, with Gen Z averaging 2 hours 25 minutes daily.WebProNewsWorkers Yearn for Pre-AI Offices as ‘Slop’ Erodes Meaning and Extends HoursA March 2026 survey of 2,500 knowledge workers across the US, UK, Canada, Germany, and Spain, commissioned by professional services firm Adaptavist and conducted by Attest, found that 65% feel nostalgic for pre-AI work routines, with 42% spending more time verifying AI output than the efficiency the tools are supposed to provide. The research reveals that 46% of workers feel their jobs have become more repetitive and less meaningful, while 54% worry AI could reduce demand for their roles within five years, leading 33% to consider switching industries and 34% to contemplate early retirement. The findings suggest that without clear guardrails and accountability, the promise of AI efficiency is being offset by a growing burden on workers that extends hours rather than reducing them.Retail TouchPointsWhat the Rise of the Polyclass Consumer Means for RetailersAttest, a consumer research platform, published research identifying a emerging consumer segment it calls the "polyclass" — Americans who hold multiple class identities simultaneously, shaped by financial pressure, aspiration and lived reality. The research found that 16% of Americans identify with more than one social class, 43% want to improve their social class, and over half change how they present themselves depending on the situation. The findings suggest traditional demographic segmentation based on income, occupation and geography is insufficient, and retailers need more adaptive, multi-dimensional research approaches combining quantitative and qualitative methods to understand consumer behavior, identity and purchasing motivations.Retail-weekHow are food and drink retailers appearing in AI searches? | Retail WeekAI-powered tools are increasingly being used for food-related searches, with 73.6% of people using them for recipe ideas, 62.2% for personalised meal planning, and 59.1% for nutritional advice, according to research by Attest. The article explores how food and drink retailers can optimize their visibility as AI systems crawl the internet to generate search responses. It raises strategic questions about search engine optimization in the age of generative AI for retail operators.StatistaPolicy actions support for ultra-processed-foods U.S. 2025The article reports on consumer preferences for regulatory measures concerning ultra-processed foods in the United States as of 2025. It highlights consumer attitudes and perceptions about ultra-processed foods and their health impacts, based on data from Statista and Attest.Food & Drink InternationalPressure grows for tighter oversight of ultra-processed foodsAcademic researchers from Harvard University, University of Michigan, and Duke University published an analysis in Milbank Quarterly urging policymakers to consider stricter controls on ultra-processed foods, drawing parallels with tobacco regulation. The paper argues that certain food formulations drive repeat consumption and stimulate reward responses that may create public health risks justifying intervention including marketing limits, on-pack warnings, and greater scrutiny of formulation practices. Consumer research from Attest indicates that almost half of UK respondents support health warnings on ultra-processed products, as the UK government develops its long-term cancer strategy amid studies linking high consumption with poorer health outcomes.Quirks.comWhat consumer data is already telling us about Gen AlphaMarket research firm Attest published its "Gen Alpha Report," based on a nationally representative survey of 1,000 U.S. parents of 15- and 16-year-olds, identifying a cohort born between 2010 and 2025 that is more tech-embedded, financially autonomous, and AI-native than prior generations. Key findings include that 43% of Gen Alpha teens game for more than three hours daily, surpassing TV viewing; 47% have over $1,000 in savings and 51% own debit cards; and 46% use AI for search. The report advises brands and researchers to adopt cross-platform, values-driven engagement strategies to align with this generation's expectations as they approach adulthood.FintechGen Alpha shows early financial maturity, says AttestConsumer insights platform Attest released research showing that UK Gen Alpha teens (15–16 year olds) are demonstrating early financial maturity, with 94% having some form of savings and 51% holding more than £1,000. The study, which surveyed 1,000 UK parents, found that 11% have over £10,000 saved and half already own a debit card, indicating financial management has become routine for this age group. Attest CEO Todd Latham highlighted an opportunity for financial brands to engage early with this generation to build long-term loyalty, while also noting that teens from high-income households are nearly seven times more likely to have over £10,000 in savings than those from lower-income families.Insider IntelligenceConsumers adopt AI tools to comparison shopA survey by Attest indicates that 44.4% of US adults are likely to use AI tools such as ChatGPT or Copilot for researching potential purchases. The data highlights a strategic shift in the consumer journey, prompting marketers to consider machine-to-machine marketing initiatives to influence AI-generated responses.
