Generator Research Limited

Generator is an independent, UK-based industry research company that has been established to become a major provider of research within the fast-developing digital music arena. Our focus includes both online and wireless-based digital music developments.

Our people draw upon deep experience in a range of operational roles in the wireless and media industries. Our practical, hands-on experience allows us to better understand the challenges facing our clients: we've almost certainly grappled with similar issues ourselves and have been faced with the same timescale and resource constraints.

Generator favours a quality-not-quantity approach to research and we insist on taking enough time to provide a quality offering.

Our mission is to identify the key trends that are driving the market and draw conclusions that are based on a clear, straightforward analysis of the facts .We are also interested in pushing the thought envelope and are not afraid to challenge commonly-held assumptions where we think this is justified.

We are an honest broker and aim to provide our clients with world-class focussed analysis and insight that is top-quality, objective and independent.
