What InFact does

InFact AS is a Norwegian full-service analysis bureau headquartered in Lysaker, Oslo, that provides political opinion polling, market research, and survey-based intelligence to media organizations, political parties, government and municipal bodies, and private companies across the Nordic region. The firm was originally founded in 2000, was acquired by NG Dialogue AS in November 2024, and subsequently rebranded the combined entity to InFact AS in Q1 2025 to consolidate brand equity around its more recognized market-research identity. InFact employs 22 people and reports 800+ customers.

The company's core technology stack is built around two proprietary assets: an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) platform that enables fully automated telephone surveys capable of delivering large representative samples (e.g., 1,000 interviews) within hours, and the NG Survey web-based platform for self-service survey design and dashboard-based analytics. The IVR platform is differentiated by a multi-million phone-number contact database accumulated over 25 years, allowing representative sampling across Norwegian demographics. Methodological rigor is anchored by in-house PhDs in political and social science, and data weighting is performed against Statistics Norway (SSB) official population figures. Senior advisors with backgrounds at Kantar TNS, NRK, and Dynata (Vegard Jarness, Per Rusten) reinforce the methodological proposition.

InFact operates a B2B services model with three primary revenue streams: political polling sold to media outlets, parties, and government/municipal clients; market and customer research sold to private enterprises and agencies; and communication/PR campaign services. Pricing is project-based with framework agreements for anchor customers — most notably a multi-year contract with Amedia, Norway's largest local-media publisher spanning 92 newspapers, extended in March 2025. The go-to-market is anchored on media visibility (poll-based news stories), political-cycle demand spikes, and enterprise renewals. Geographic expansion began in October 2025 with the launch of InFact Sweden from a Göteborg office, targeting the 2026 Swedish Riksdag election.
