Linking the chain of support for better decision making and strategic thinking

Case Study Bouygues Group
Kantar helps Bouygues Group by delivering accurate campaign performance intelligence to enable better decision making.
Pierre Auberger, Communication Director, Bouygues Group“Monitoring requires high standards, precision and strong responsiveness. Kantar’s work quality reflects our own work quality. Even if we receive 99% of the information, adding the final 1% can make all the difference. The vast majority of Kantar’s work is delivered on time, but we keep vigilant as it could be the final 1% which is key to understanding the whole story, and our goal is to anticipate any challenge.”
