OVERVIEW
You might remember us as DDC - Data Development Corporation. We're pleased to present ourselves today as Data Development Worldwide.
Because as markets have gone global, we have gone there to meet our clients' needs. Our experience spans the major markets in North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia/Pacific. We're a player of note - wherever your marketing playing field might be. Our nationwide U.S. offices are now complemented by partnerships with premier providers in all major international markets and supervised by regional coordinators.
We may be the largest independent provider of quantitative custom market research in the U.S. In size and capabilities, we can and do compete successfully against even the largest of our publicly owned competitors. Unlike them, however, we have no shareholders telling us that short-term profits aren't what they should be. No corporate parent urging us to earn more, cut back, change our culture.
We answer to no one but our clients, and our agenda is whatever serves you best. So we are happily able to practice according to our long-term view that client satisfaction, not shareholder satisfaction, is what we're here for. When you get a sense of how satisfied our clients are, we think you'll agree that we're onto something.
"Our business is on the cutting edge of technology and in a rapid consumer growth mode. To keep pace with the demands of our business and the new markets we are carving out, I rely on DDW to not only tell us how we are doing but how we can do it better or more efficiently. They are like having an extension to our department, and we consider them part of our team."
- Maritza DiSciullo, Vice President of Research XM Satellite Radio
