The purchase will expand Reputation Institute’s footprint in North America and boost its reputation analytics platform Media RepTrak. Financial details were not revealed.

Founded in 1989, Cormex Research has developed customised social media and traditional media measurement and analysis tools. Its president, Andrew Laing, will become Reputation Institute’s senior vice-president of Media RepTrak, Americas.

His team of research analysts will continue to work out of the Toronto, supporting existing Cormex Research and Reputation Institute accounts.

These attributes align with our business model and values of rigour and commitment.”
