RocheMartin

What RocheMartin does

RocheMartin (legal entity: RocheMartin Operations (UK) Limited) is a privately held Emotional Intelligence assessment and training company headquartered in London, with a regional office in Elwood, Australia. Founded by Dr Martyn Newman — described in company materials as a world-leading authority on Emotional Intelligence and author of 'Emotional Capitalists' — the company develops the Emotional Capital Report (ECR), a proprietary psychometric platform that measures EQ across ten competencies (Self-Knowing, Self-Confidence, Self-Reliance, Straightforwardness, Self-Actualisation, Relationship Skills, Empathy, Adaptability, Optimism, and Self-Control). The platform is benchmarked against normative data from over 180,000 high-performing global leaders and is delivered through a portfolio spanning individual self-assessments, multi-rater 360-degree reports, team-level diagnostics, and youth/sports verticals. To date, the company reports that more than 1 million ECR assessments have been administered across over 3,500 organisations in 50+ countries.

The product architecture layers AI-assisted delivery on top of the ECR engine: SmartCoach (launched 2021) provides on-demand video-based coaching modules, and OpenEQ and Dr Martyn AI (both launched 2024) combine the ECR assessment with conversational AI coaching, learning resources, and organisational reporting. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, a self-serve EQ Store, international distributors, and a Train the Trainer certification programme that produces a global network of RocheMartin-certified practitioners who can independently administer ECR assessments and deliver EQ workshops within their client organisations.

RocheMartin generates revenue across six streams: per-assessment fees on the EQ Store (ECR Self at £79, full ECR at £360), workshop delivery priced at £5,500 per half-day, ECR certification and Mastering EQ programmes at £2,990, per-student SmartCoach subscriptions (£50 per module or £300 per student for full access), executive coaching services, and books/educational materials. Enterprise segment customers include Sky, Oracle, Boeing, Singtel, Optus, Network Rail, Mars Inc, Google, ExxonMobil, and Randstad; education and consumer-goods verticals are served via ECR Youth and partnerships with schools such as St Joseph's Catholic School in New Zealand. The company is founder-controlled, with no disclosed external institutional funding, M&A, or leadership changes in the input data.
