To paraphrase slightly – “This site is the public facing showcase for Mindshares’ proprietary study. Its aim is to understand peoples media habits, lives, attitudes and cultural differences.

They cover media habits including both traditional and digital media, concerns, attitudes, lifestyles and a sporting event. This year they have covered the London 2012 Olympics.”
