What's the company size?

Currently thirty or so full-time employees, but we've more than doubled in size every year for the last three years.

Which sector do you operate in?

Mostly digital marketing, but we stray outside of that area for other digital research projects from time to time.

What does the business do and what are your core/ flagship products?

We do digital research, measurement and analysis. We apply our methods to looking at a brand's performance online and in social media, at how well their website works for them, and at how to make things better; all of which we do on both a strategic and tactical level.

We don't have a flagship product as such; all of our work is bespoke, tailored research designed to meet a client's business needs and provide clear guidance on how to solve their problems.

Who is the CEO/ founder?

Ben Bose, our founder, has worked in almost every area of digital - including search engine optimisation, user experience, development, design, social media, content creation and strategy.

How and when was the company founded?

Mavens was founded in 2009 to try and reshape the approach, methodologies and thinking behind digital marketing.

Which regions are covered?

Current research projects cover markets from every continent except Antarctica. Digital marketing is lost on penguins.

Number of current MBAs at the company?

Currently none, but we are looking to change that!

Something interesting about Mavens in your own words...

Our office-warming party involved jelly and explosives. We have more books than bookshelf space, and keep buying more books.
