Looking for Synovate Global Opinion Panels? – Survey Chris

synovate-global-opinion-panels-logoIf you're looking for Synovate Global Opinion Panels, it no longer exists. It has been rebranded with Ipsos i-Say. Below I will explain what you can expect to see that is new, what this means for members who had accounts with Synovate Global Opinion Panels, and if this merger is a good thing or not.

While this Ipsos bought out Synovate over two years ago, the company is only recently completing the merger and fully integrating Synovate. This means that we are now starting the see the results of it.

Why Did Synovate Global Opinion Panels Merge with Ipsos i-Say?


This merger came about due to Ipsos' growth in the market research industry. Synovate is not the first research firm that Ipsos has bought out, but this was their most significant.

Ipsos bought Synovate for $885,192,000 USD. That is an extremely large purchase, and made Ipsos the third largest global market research company.

What Does This Mean For Survey Panelists?

For us who are concerned about making money from these companies, the question arises of if this is a good thing or bad thing.

First, should you be concerned about your points transferring over? The answer is fortunately no. The valued of your points with Synovate Global Opinions Panels were automatically transferred to Ipsos i-Say.

However, the point system has changed, but the value of the points are the same. While you needed 10,000 Global Opinion Panels points to redeem a $10 payout, with Ipsos i-Say, you only need 1,000 i-Say points. Your Global Opinion points were automatically converted to their worth in i-Say points.

Should I Continue On and Use Ipsos i-Say?

  1. I have been a member of Consumer Panels, Marie Brighton, Synovate Survey since the 80’s. I have participated in many, many surveys and tested lots of products. For some reason I haven’t received anything for years now. Why after so many faithful years have I been dropped?

    1. Hey Linda,

      I’d recommend creating a new email address and signing up. Perhaps you were lost in the transition.

  2. Hey Chris,
    Thanks for having such an informative blog. I’ve already joined a couple of panels. Hey when I try to use your link to sign up for Ipsos, the link goes to a site call Prize Rebel. What is that? I’m confused. Thanks, AmyB

    1. Hey Amy, sometimes panels shut down their registrations so we redirect those clicks elsewhere so people don’t have to waste their time. I’ll see if we can better label those links.
