Edison Expands, Enhances

• Edison Research, that Somerville, NJ-based market research agency, announced the purchase of additional office space to double its current square footage and the promotion of several key employees in advance of a significant expansion.

Edison Research has been the sole provider of exit polling to the National Election Pool (NEP) since 2003. In mid-2017, the company was also awarded the sole contract to provide vote count data to the NEP, and many of the company’s new hires will be dedicated to that effort. In addition, Edison is expanding its digital audio portfolio, as the company has seen significant growth in research engagements in Podcasting, Streaming Audio, and the syndicated Share of Ear® research series.

In addition to these moves, Edison also announced the following staff promotions — Rob Farbman: Executive Vice President; Melissa Kiesche: Senior Vice President; Tom Webster: Senior Vice President; Nicole Beniamini: Vice President; Randall Brown: Vice President; Megan Lazovick: Vice President; Mary Meyn: Vice President; Johanna Roche: Vice President and Laura Silvia: Vice President, Digital Operations and IT. The company has also hired Clint Stevenson as Vice President, Data Science.

Larry Rosin, President of Edison Research, commented, “We are honored by the immense trust placed upon us by our election, media, and consumer research clients over the past 24 years, and we are thrilled to be able to continue to grow and expand our capabilities. We know we have the right team in place to continue to achieve our objectives.”
