Toluna is the leading provider of agile quantitative and qualitative research solutions, with offerings ranging from DIY to Hybrid to Full Service.

Frédéric-Charles Petit, CEO of Toluna, said, "We’re very excited to welcome MetrixLab and its talented team to Toluna, as well as to explore new opportunities in partnership with Macromill. This acquisition is a significant milestone in our mission to empower clients to make data-driven decisions with ease through a platform that unifies the latest technology and human expertise.

This combination demonstrates our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our clients and helping them achieve greater success for their businesses.”
Thijs Elias, CEO of MetrixLab, added, “For over two decades, MetrixLab has helped brands across the globe drive business impact by blending evolving technology with passionate research experts. By joining with Toluna’s industry-leading insights technology platform and global panel, we will be able to continue developing and delivering research programs for our partners, but faster and at larger scale.”
Toluna is committed to delivering an end-to-end, client-centric insights platform by accelerating investment in innovative Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning capabilities that drive research excellence. This news marks Toluna’s fifth acquisition deal since 2014, following shortly after the late-October 2022 acquisition and successful integration of GutCheck.
As part of this transaction, Macromill will take a minority equity stake in Toluna. Going forward, Toluna and Macromill will explore opportunities for global collaboration and partnership. Verlinvest will remain the largest shareholder in the newly combined entity.
Toru Sasaki, CEO of Macromill, stated, “Combining the strengths of both Toluna and MetrixLab will create one of the world’s leading global insights firms. We are excited to pursue opportunities for global collaboration and generating synergies in our new partnership with Toluna.”
