    About us

    Verian is a world leading, purpose-led and independent research, evidence, evaluation, and communications agency, providing services to government and the public realm. ​​

    We work with our clients to help solve the next generation of public policy challenges.​

    Our whakapapa

    For nearly four decades our team of social researchers and advisors have worked closely with the New Zealand public sector, as Colmar Brunton, Kantar Public and now Verian.

    Our organisation has grown from strength to strength over the years, not only due to our company-wide commitment to exceed clients’ expectations, but also to our dedicated and loyal staff and partners. We engender a culture of innovation, inspiration, leading-edge thinking, caring and excellence, and our values reflect this.

    We live these values through our actions and behaviours and how we treat our people, our partners and our broader society. Our research, like our values, is designed to be actionable - giving decision makers the clarity and insight to make a positive impact.

    Our Purpose

    Powering decisions that shape the world.

    We work to make positive change that shapes our world right here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

    As an organisation dedicated to social research, our sole focus is on social and economic impact. We are a partner for decision makers, policy shapers and sector experts to provide the evidence, guidance and insights to drive positive changes for organisations, individuals and communities.
