We are horizoom.

horizoom was founded in early 2023 with the aim of creating quality, service and real added value for customers as a data-driven online access panel provider.

In doing so, we think and act at all times people first:
We are convinced that only fair, respectful treatment of people, our panelists – especially appropriate incentivization, the best possible user experience, compliance with professional law and DSGVO, and personal and approachable support – can lead to honest and engaging answers and valuable insights.

Personal on eye level

We are convinced that only the combination of excellent, personal and fair consulting as well as excellent service with fast response times from inquiry to debriefing can lead to a long-term and sustainable cooperation at eye level with excellent customers. We rely on the talent, the knowledge, the curiosity and the passion of our diverse and experienced team, which works trustfully and in partnership at eye level.

Strong team

horizoom GmbH is owner-managed and independent with currently 12 employees and has its headquarters in Berlin as well as a further presence in Cologne. In addition to the four managing directors, the group of shareholders also includes the Swiss full-service market research institute intervista (www.intervista.ch), which was founded in 2010, is owner-managed and certified according to ISO 20252:2019, and also operates its own panel in Switzerland. As a member of the ADM, BVM and DGOF associations, horizoom is committed to complying with the recognized industry standards of the market and social research profession of the German Market Research Council (Rat der Deutschen Marktforschung e.V.).

5 Values

Our five values guide our daily collaboration: Excellence. Sustainability. Integrity. Caring. Innovation. In this way, we create space for new ideas and transformative solutions and give everyone the opportunity to pursue their own curiosity, realize their own ideas and develop their personal potential.

Reliable partner

The horizoom GmbH online access panel was launched in summer 2023 and already has 40,000 active panelists aged 14 and over. We will continue to invest heavily in panel growth in 2024. We are also planning to set up and operate further panels on behalf of customers. Furthermore, we have a strong network of national and international partners, through which we can recruit on demand and at the request of our customers.
