I received a random (or so they say) call the other night asking if I was interested in participating in focus groups on topical issues for an organisation called Research.bm.
After enthusiastically agreeing - I love spouting off as you all know - the caller seemed quite pleased but had one final question:
Q. "Do you work in advertising or marketing, do you work for the press or are you in a political party".
A. (reluctantly) "Well, err, hmmm... well yeah. I write a political column for The Royal Gazette and I was cannon fodder for the UBP at the last election."
Q. Silence. "Well that's too bad. Do you know anyone else who might be interested?"
So, are you interested? If so, send them an email at contact@research.bm.
I scouted around their website a little. It's got a funky layout and attractive design and what they do looks interesting.
There was no information on who the principals of the company are so I did a BermudNIC Domain WHOIS lookup. The site registrant and administrative contact is listed as Ben Fairn, the Managing Director of Aardvark Communications, who may be behind the company or just their advertising agency/website designers.
Anyway, let me know what you hear if you do sign up.
