Blue Yonder Research
https://blueyonder.agency/market-research-opportunities/data-analyst/Blue Yonder was founded 25 years ago, and in December 2025 it merged with Curion. The company is involved in pioneering innovations day-to-day, with 10% of the company’s net profits being invested into innovation, to create new insight tech and methods to support client needs. For example, our very own research tech button, Clickscape®, which was proudly patented in 2023.
Blue Yonder is all about people: our amazing team are key to our success. We value authenticity, partnership, entrepreneurship and positivity, and these values aren’t just stuck up on a wall somewhere – they underpin everything we do, internally and externally. Our culture is key; we’re supportive, learning and solution-focused, and we’re a lovely bunch to work with. But we would say that wouldn’t we? In our 2024 full-team survey, 100% agreed their line manager cared about their learning and development, and the most common words to describe Blue Yonder were ‘friendly’, ‘innovative’ and ‘fun’.
In the last couple of years, we’ve doubled our team size, restructured, and innovated. We were shortlisted for Agency of the Year at the Market Research Society awards in 2024, after winning break-through Agency of the Year in 2020, and we were finalists for Agency of the Year in 2020, 2021, and 2022. And in 2026, we’re still growing, innovating more than ever, and looking for more great people to join our expanding team.
We don’t do ‘off the shelf’ approaches; we work in partnership with our clients, challenge, design solutions, and make them happen. We’re hands-on, regardless of job title, and we work with mixed methods to answer client questions, presented beautifully, using a range of tools including video and interactive deliverables. And while our HQ is in Leeds, we work flexibly, and our clients and projects span the globe.
