Take a tour

If you want to influence the ecology of discussion, opinion and debate that shapes what people believe about your brand or organisation, the Influence Engine is the most rigorous system available.

Derived from scientific research done at the universities of Oxford and Newcastle in the UK, it finds any market or community of interest on the Internet and then pin-point its most influential members.

As each significant blogger, social network member or website is identified, the Influence Engine reveals the role it plays in shaping consumer perceptions. This radical new system permits the development of new strategies and tactics for pro-actively influencing what people think about any product, company or institution.
