Research Strategy

To carry out this research, we started by searching through the company's website, LinkedIn profile, social media platforms, and trusted media sites. Through this method, we were able to identify most of the information needed. Information on geographical growth and geographical expansion was unavailable.
The research team got creative and decided to search through the companies annual report; we were hoping to identify any mention or indicator of geographical growth or expansion within the next 3 years. This search method proved abortive because BenevolentAI is a private company, and it is under no obligation to publish its annual reports.
Finally, the research team searched through the company's publications, official blog site, industry news/articles, news sites, and publications. This search method proved abortive as well.

Research Strategy

To carry out this research, we started by searching through the company's website, press releases, annual reports. Through this method, we were able to identify some information like company location, employees, organization structure, etc. However, information on geographical growth, geographical expansion, and any information on the consequences for no growth were unavailable. The company is privately-held; as a result, we could not access its annual reports, and the official website does address its strategic decisions.

The research team also tried to find the required information in media sites like PR Newswire, Business Wire, and Business Insider, but could only find information on the latest partnerships, technology solutions, etc. We then looked for information on different company databases, such as Crunchbase, Comparably, and Growjo, among others. Through this strategy, we were able to identify the employee growth percentage, company revenue, etc. but the research team was not able to find information on geographical expansion plans.

Company Employee Analysis 4

The following is the requested information for ExecOnline. Your research team has looked into office locations, office locations with the most employees, number of employees per office location, the types of employees in each office location, what the office looks like (and provided pictures), employee growth, company growth drivers, fast-growing team/organizational units, consequences of slow growth, executive sponsors, geographic expansion and the organizational structure of the company. A spreadsheet of findings can also be found here:

OFFICE LOCATIONS


LOCATION OF MOST EMPLOYEES

  • The company is headquartered in New York.
  • As per the company's LinkedIn, that is also where it has the most employees (56).
  • The exact address of HQ is 31 Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10001.

NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES PER LOCATION

  • LinkedIn reports that the company has between 51-200 total employees.
  • Of those, 155 list ExecOnline Inc. as their current employer (including part-time roles).
  • 56 are located in New York.
  • 39 are located in Washington.
  • 10 are located in San Francisco.
  • 5 are located in Chicago.

TYPE OF EMPLOYEE IN EACH LOCATION


WHAT DOES THE OFFICE LOOK LIKE


EMPLOYEE GROWTH

  • Moguldom reports that ExecOnline had 35 employees in 2017.
  • And with LinkedIn reporting that the company had 155 employees in 2020, and assuming a linear growth rate between 2017 and 2020, then the number of employee growth in the past 12 months was 64.21%.

GROWTH DRIVERS

  • ExecOnline programs generate a 76x return on investment, fueling overall company growth.
  • They also focus on providing exceptional client services to customers through their employees and dedicate entire account team to client throughout the program.
  • They also target a small niche in the market- the “critical middle” senior and middle managers who are responsible for executing strategy, and thus are better able to understand, and serve their needs.
  • ExecOnline also partners with top business schools in the industry to create online leadership development solutions and have been recognized by Forbes for their ‘revolutionary approach’.

TEAMS/ORGANIZATIONAL UNITS THAT HAVE GROWN


CONSEQUENCES OF SLOW GROWTH

  • The last funding round for ExecOnline was based on the need for the company to further develop its proprietary L&D program, increase sales, and expand marketing efforts. If significant growth is not achieved, then the company may lose its funding, as well as its fast-growing business development, sales and data departments as a consequence.

EXECUTIVE SPONSORS


NEXT GEOGRAPHICAL EXPANSION

  • ExecOnline is still currently developing its Chicago office location, as it only has 5 employees based there.
  • Moreover, it still hasn't updated all of its websites to include the Chicago office, including its careers website.

GEOGRAPHICAL EXPANSION IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS

  • While ExecOnline hasn’t published or reported its next geographical expansions, the logical expansion is Houston or Dallas.
  • Just behind New York (42), both Houston (24), and Dallas (12) host the second and third-largest number of Fortune 500 companies, which are prime targets for the company’s Executive Programs.
  • Its other office in Chicago ranks 6th among cities hosting Fortune 500 companies.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE


RESEARCH STRATEGY

In response to the employee growth request, our research indicated that the company had around 35 employees in 2017, and 155 in 2020. As a result, we assumed a linear growth rate between 2017 and 2020, and setup the equation: 35(1+x)^3=155. Solving for x yields the employee growth rate, which in this case, was 64.21%.

Company Employee Analysis 8

Adstream has two offices, one in London (United Kingdom) while the other in New York (the United States). The company recently witnessed a reduction in the number of its employees. Additional details about Adstream are in rows 19-32 of the attached spreadsheet.

Office Locations

  • Adstream has two office locations. They are in London (United Kingdom) and the United States (New York), respectively.

Main Employee Location

  • The Headquarters location of Adstream is in London.
  • Adstream's London office has about 212 employees.
  • The LinkedIn, web pages, and news resources associated with Adstream do not reveal the number of employees in its United States (New York) office. Adstream has a total of about 485 employees. Since the company has only two locations, the number of its United States employees = Total number of employees — number of employees in the United Kingdom. Thus, 485-212 = 273 employees in the United States.
  • Based on the number of employees, the United States is the primary location of Adstream, as shown from the calculation above.

Number of Employees per Location

  • Adstream has 212 employees in the United States and 273 employees in the United States (calculated above).

Types of Employees in a Location

Office Design

  • The United Kingdom's office location of Adstream is on a whitish multi-storey building at the intersection between High-Holborn Street and Endell Street.
  • On the interior, Adstream's reception has brown floors, whitish walls, and ceilings that are well lit. The reception area has a spacious basement with strategically placed ornamental plants to add beauty to the environment.

Twelve-Month Full-Time Employee Growth Rate

  • There is limited insight available to the public on the twelve-month full-time employee growth rate of Adstream.
  • In 2018, Adstream had 550 employees spread across 36 offices in several countries in several countries. By 2020, the number of employees had reduced to 485 in two locations (the United States and the United Kingdom). 550 – 485 = 65 released employees in two years (between 2020 and 2018).
  • By percentage, the percentage change in employees = (65/550)*100% = 11.8% in 2 years or 11.8%/2 = the release of 5.9% of employees released per year.

Reasons for Growth

  • There are limited insights into the reason for the negative growth of Adstream's employees to the public. Adstream is a privately held company and is not obliged to make this information public.
  • In 2019, Adstream announced that it had developed new methods of digital asset management through the use of creative logistics or analytics solutions. The company revealed that it had launched a new project that would reduce process inefficiencies by $80 billion for the advertising as well as marketing industries. The company implemented this by eliminating labor-intensive (high employee dependence) and highly-manual advert campaign workflows.
  • Unlike its previous hand workflows that had individuals implemented day-to-day management, Adstream's new system uses autonomous artificial intelligence-powered marketing assistants that run in the cloud. The study assumes that automating workflows to reduce process inefficiencies and save cost may be the reason Adstream reduced the number of its employees when it did. The company may decide to lead by example or practice what it is preaching.

Growing Teams

  • Despite reducing the overall number of its employees between 2018 and 2020, Adstream revealed on its website page that has a list of its management staff that managers can apply to join its management team because its team of managers is growing.
  • This insight implies that the team that is declining in number is not management related. Thus, while the management team is still increasing (positive growth), the non-management team (operations) is the likely team decreasing (it most likely reduced between 2018 and 2020). This negative growth aligns with the discovery made above that Adstream has automated its operations and needs fewer operational staff to process inefficiencies and expenses or costs.

The Consequence of Not Growing

  • The consequence of not reducing its operational staff (negative growth) as analyzed above may lead to process inefficiencies, increased expenses that can be lowered (and consequently lesser profits).

Executive Sponsors

  • There is limited information on the executive sponsors of Adstream. Bruce Akhurst is the executive chairman, while Daniel Mark is the chief executive officer of Adstream.
  • An executive sponsor is often a project sponsor or the senior responsible owner of a project. The executive sponsor is usually a senior member of a company's project board and is also often the chair of the board. This study considers the chief executive officer of Adstream and its executive chairman Daniel Mark and Bruce Akhurst as senior members that meet the above criteria (they can be called executive sponsors) and can serve on project boards.

Current Expansion Plans

  • There are limited insights into the current geographic expansion plans of Adstream.
  • To increase the reach of its services as well as grow its company, Adstream launched a social's visibility or control tool in April 2020. The new tool to revolutionize content delivery using social media at an unprecedented scale.
  • Adstream intends to bring scalability "to the social media content" supply chain for several brands or agencies in a way that no other company has done.

3-year Expansion Plans

  • There are limited insights available to the public on the three-year expansion plans of Adstream.
  • Adstream partnered with The TEAM Companies (TTC) since 2018 to expand its relationship and help the company save millions of dollars that would otherwise get spent on litigation.

Organizational Chart

  • The organizational chart of Adstream includes several individuals with various roles which include the following:
  • Bruce Akhurst (executive chairman), Daniel Mark (chief executive officer), Tim Emly (chief financial officer), Jodie Thompson (chief of staff), and Warwick Syphers (commercial director). Geoff Hoffmann (chief revenue officer, CEO North America), Andy Hopkinson (chief customer officer), Katie Nykanen (chief technology officer)
  • Sonia Garcí­a Vilas (director-general Spain & Portugal), Antal Pal (managing partner MENA), Celso Vergeiro (CEO Brazil), Georgie Charlish (managing director, Australia, NZ), Dimitris Mavrikakis (managing director Greece), and Rudolf Kukac (general manager, the Czech Republic).
  • Mike Smit (managing director South Africa), Dipali Mahesh (managing director India), David Freeman (business director Japan), Emric Pasternak (managing director, France), Ricardo Parravicini (managing director, SE Europe), Tee Kuboki (executive director Japan), Kennis Chu (managing director China), Sabrina Abdullah (general manager, South East Asia), and Anita Kuripla (general manager, Hungary)

Research Strategy

The research has investigated the requested information for Adstream and populates rows 19-32 of the attached spreadsheet. Resources reviewed include LinkedIn profiles of Adstream, the company's web pages, credible news, and media resources, comparative analysis databases like Crunchbase, Craft, among other resources. This strategy examined locations that Adstream has offices, the place that the company has the most employees, the number of employees per office location, and the primary type of employees per location. Another investigation determined by what figure Adstream's employees have grown within the past 12 months and its teams or organizational units that have increased in number the most. The research also investigated the consequences of not growing at a particular rate, Adstream's executive sponsors, the geographical region that the company plans to grow to next, including the regions that the company plans to expand to in the next three years as well as its organizational chart. This strategy uncovered insights like the number of employees per location, office locations, among other pieces of information. There was limited information available to the public on the number of employees in the United States. The research proceeded by subtracting the number of United Kingdom Staff from the total number of staff since the company has only two locations. Other insights that were not available to the public include reasons for the company's loss of employees (negative employee growth) or teams that are growing. There were no insights related to the consequences of Adstream employees not increasing or reducing, its executive sponsors, current expansion plans, or three-year expansion plans. The study has researched insights that appear related to the missing pieces of researched information and explains their importance in the research. There may be insufficient public information about Adstream because it was formerly known as Dubstat. Its LinkedIn profile confirms that the company was once known as Dubstat, and only 14 of its employees are on one of its LinkedIn page (as staff members of Adstream). Some of Adstream's employees may not have updated their profiles (changed from Dubstat to Adstream) or are not on LinkedIn, which is a factor responsible for limited well-coordinated social media statistics of the company or its employees.

Adstream has only two office locations and is a privately held company. As a privately held company, Adstream may not be under any obligation to make its data public. Due to the limited availability of the data on Adstream, the research has also examined the individual profiles of Adstream employees to aggregate data to give a broader picture of Adstream where necessary. Since Adstream has only two locations (in the United States and the United Kingdom), the research considers employees with United States profile as the most likely staff of Adstream in the US, while those with UK profiles are most likely associated with the United Kingdom's location of Adstream. Employees of Adstream that have Facebook profiles or social media profiles outside the United States or the United Kingdom are not in the study (where the required information is location-based). A Korean living in the United States is a business analyst for Adstream. He is included under the United States' employee types because it is obvious he works for the United States office.

  • The office at 1841 Broadway Suite 300 is described as bright and large. The office decor features wall-mounted desks, roller chairs, wooden shelves, and adequate lighting.
  • Its employees grew from 16 to 20 employees over the past 12 months. Specifically, there was growth in the areas of research and strategic partnerships.
REASONS FOR GROWTH
  • Research is a core segment of the Center for Talent Innovation, through which the organization explores challenges for individuals and their employees. Since its research covers a broad range of talent streams, industries, and geographies, the organization will require more employees in this area as the diversity in talent and industry increases or changes, as well as its geographical coverage.
  • The addition of personnel to the area of strategic partnerships was to "strengthen and support the company's partnerships with its community of 80+ Task Force members."
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT GROWING
  • Failure to expand the research team would leave CTI struggling or unable to keep up with changes in the talent stream, industries, and expanding geographies.
  • Also, with the company's growing community of task force members, the lack of personnel to handle and communicate with its partners might weaken such partnerships and their commitment to the company's mission.

The requested information for GSD/Plative have been provided in column P, rows 19-32 of the attached spreadsheet. Plative operates offices in New York City, Toronto, Vancouver, Mumbai, and Makati Manila.

Selected Findings

  • Plative's New York City office has the most employees.
  • Plative's offices in New York City and Vancouver feature individual work stations placed beside and in front of each other.
  • According to GrowJo, the number of employees at Plative grew by 46% from 2019 to 2020.
  • Plative's employee size increased after acquiring Audaxium in February 2019.
  • Plative's employee size grew again after opening an office in Mumbai, India sometime between February and September 2019.

Research Strategy

The information related to teams/organizational units that have grown the most and geographical expansion plans are not available. To identify the required information, we first examined content published by Plative. An examination of the company's website, press releases, and social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) did not reveal any information on teams/organizational units that have grown the most and geographical expansion plans.

Next, we examined third-party sources such as external articles, business databases, and job advertisement sites. An examination of interviews conducted with the company's executives, GrowJo, and Glassdoor did not reveal any information on teams/organizational units that have grown the most and geographical expansion plans.

It is known that Plative's employee size has increased over the past year after acquiring Audaxium and opening an office in Mumbai, India in 2019. However, the exact roles and overall headcount change have not been revealed. The teams/organizational units that have grown the most could not be triangulated as the company's career site and other job advertisement sites did not reveal job advertisements posted in 2019.

Greg DelGenio, the partner and chief revenue officer at Plative, has announced plans to turn the company into a "multi-national management consultancy driven by digital innovation" in the next ten years. However, neither he nor other executives have revealed the specific geographical region that the company plans to expand next or in the near future.

Heady is a digital agency that specializes in developing apps and websites for clients. They are located in both New York and Mumbai. Full details may be found on the attached spreadsheet.

Notes

  • Heady currently has two locations: one in Mumbai, India and one in Brooklyn, New York.
  • In Brooklyn, the team focuses on UX, UI design, and strategy, as well as lead management. Their Mumbai office is dedicated to their mobile engineering team.
  • No information is available about the change in the number of employees but the company has mentioned that their business has been doubling "year over year."
  • If Heady does not grow with demand, other mobile and website development companies will easily take their business. The opportunities for growth in an online market will be lost.
  • There are no current stated plans for geographical growth. However, employees in Mexico, the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Montana, and Tennessee are listed on their LinkedIn profile.

Research Strategy

The primary focus of our research was the company's web page, annual reports and press releases. While most of the information was gathered using those means, we were not able to find how the employees of the company's locations have grown in the last 24 months. We also tried using their LinkedIn profile and third-party trusted media reports but we were not able to find any additional information.

Salt Recruitment Group employs about 250 individuals in 10 offices located in nine countries. The most number of employees are located in its London headquarters, and employee growth has been driven by its expansion activities. Kindly refer to column R, rows 19-32, of the spreadsheet.
  • Salt Recruitment Group has 10 offices globally located in London, United Kingdom, New York, United States, Sydney, Australia, Melbourne, Australia, Hong Kong, PR of China, Auckland, New Zealand, Dubai, UAE, Singapore, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Cape Town, South Africa.
  • Salt Recruitment Group's website states that it has a team of over 250 employees in its 10 global locations.
  • It is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, and this is the location with the most number of employees at about 106. The offices in New York, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Cape Town, and Auckland have 21, 18, 20, 20, and 25 employees each, respectively.
  • The total employee count in Australia is 25, but there is no breakdown for the two Australian locations (Melbourne and Sydney).
  • Also, there is no breakdown for Hong Kong and Singapore as website visitors are redirected to the 'Asia' portal when they attempt to visit their 'About' pages. However, the number of employees in the other eight locations amount to 210 and it is assumed that they share the remaining 40 in each location.
  • In September 2019 when Salt expanded its APAC operations with the acquisition of Xpand, it had about 200 employees in eight countries, and it now has 250 employees in 10 countries. This means that its employee count has since grown by 50 employees or 20%. This is the only available data from its websites and press releases, as well as the overall public domain.
  • The company has been making acquisitions in the APAC and African regions in the past year. Expansion is its main employee growth driver.
  • In February 4, 2020, when Salt Recruitment Group acquired South Africa's Recruit Digital, Salt's CEO stated that they intended to have offices globally, "with Africa being the obvious next step." He added that the company was excited to expand the Salt Africa business.
  • After expanding its APAC footprint in September 2020, Salt Recruitment Group reported that its expansion plans include substantial hires, additional acquisitions, continued investment in technology, and new offices. It also reported that it intends to open offices all over the world. There is no information on the geographical regions that the company plans to expand to in the next three years.
  • According to the Group's Executive Chairman, there is a significant global shortage of digital/technology professionals and, therefore, to be the best it has to step up to offer support to candidates, clients, and contractors worldwide. Failure expand would mean that the company will miss out on the opportunity to become the best digital recruiter in the world.
  • Based on its Instagram photos, Salt's offices are bright and spacious with an open layout and simple but stylish furniture. The London office is located in a multi-storied building. All offices are well lit with large glass windows. Images the New York, London, and Hong Kong offices have been provided in the attached Google Doc.
  • There was no information from the Group's websites or official communications regarding the teams/organizational units that have grown the most in the past year. A search through career sites and media resources did not provide anything on the subject. However, Salt is primarily looking for people to fill Recruitment Consultant positions on its Career page. The only other positions being advertised are in the Marketing field.

The attached spreadsheet has been filled with the requested information. Taptica has offices in Tel Aviv, San Francisco, New York, London, Beijing, Tokyo and Seoul. What follows are key findings and explanations of how we approached this research.

Offices

  • Taptica has an office in each of the following cities: Tel Aviv, Israel; San Francisco, US; New York, US; London, UK; Beijing, China; Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, South Korea.

Employees per location

Types of employees

  • At Taptica, 28 employees work in the media and communication field, 27 work in sales departments, 21 work in IT departments while another 21 work in business development.
  • When clicking at each of the business fields on Linkedin, it is visible they are proportionally distributed across locations (e.g. the Tel Aviv office has the most employees and thus also has the most employees specialized in sales).

Office design

  • A social media scan uncovered 2 photos of Taptica's offices. They are spacious, located in large spaces, rather than in separate rooms. Employees are all working in the same space, while departments seem to be separated by glass walls.

Employee growth

  • This couldn't be determined because the company hasn't disclosed its employee count in reports or press releases. While Tremor International, Taptica's parent company, didn't yet publish an annual report for the year 2019, an exhaustive study of Taptica's 2018 annual report revealed the company hasn't mentioned the number of its employees. Instead, employee feedback systems and benefits were described.
  • Upon looking for older data, we encountered another brick wall, as it was found the company hasn't provided information on the number of employees for the years 2018, 2017 or 2016. Our aim was to use this information to assume linear growth, in order to derive at 2019 employee count values.

Company growth within the past 12 months

  • In June 2019, Taptica rebranded and merged with RhythmOne and Tremor Video, as part of its growth strategy.
  • The company also actively anticipates and responds to market shifts. For instance, the company appropriately shifted its advertising business from desktop to focus on mobile, then from mobile to focus on video advertising and smart TV.

Consequences of not growing at a particular rate

Current expansion plans

Future expansion plans

  • In the recent 2019 results presentation, Tremor International's CEO Ofer Druker announced an extended 2-year partnership with Alfonso, the leading TV retargeting enabler in the US and Canada, indicating that the company intends to further expand in North America within the next three years (around 12:17 of the presentation video).

Research Strategy

To determine the geographical regions on current and future expansion plans of the company, the research team scoured through the company website, press releases, and financial statements. The company is privately-held; as a result, we could not access its annual reports, and the official website does address its strategic decisions. We then looked for information on different company databases, such as Crunchbase, Comparably, and Growjo, among others. Through this strategy, we were able to identify the employee growth percentage and funding rounds, but the research team was not able to find information on geographical expansion plans. The research team also tried to find any information about the company ‘s geographical expansion plans in media sites like PR Newswire, Business Wire, and Forbes, but we could only find information on the latest funding rounds, technology, etc.

Network to Code, LLC is a company specializing in network automation, which is the key growth of the networking technology market. The company has achieved significant growth in the past 12 months, as evident from the new hire and growth of employees. The majority of new employees were for technical staff, such as engineers, consultants and software developers. For more details, please refer to the attached spreadsheet, in Column AC and Row 19-32.

Key Findings

  • Network to Code, LLC is a technology firm that transforms how companies' IT networks are deployed, managed and consumed daily. The company's head office is based in downtown New York, which is its only office.
  • According to the company's Website and its employees' LinkedIn profiles, as of April 2020, 44 employees are working at Network to Code, LLC, in which the majority is full-time staff based in the head office, while the others work remotely in the other states of the US.
  • The main types of employees are directors and vice presidents, engineers, consultants, engagement managers and coaches/trainers. Based on the profiles on LinkedIn, 16 employees joined the company in the last 12 months between May 2019 and April 2020, representing a growth of approximately 57.1%. Without the significant growth in employees, Network to Code, LLC is not expected to achieve the level of growth in revenues and cash flows that are critical to business continuity and secure capital funding for future growth.
  • The key growth driver of the networking technology market is network automation, which enhances the efficiency and reliability of organizations' networks, which has increased the company's demand for automation engineers and consultants, principal architects, and software developers in the past 12 months.
  • Although there is no public announcement on its near-term and mid-to-long term plan for geographical expansion, the company's focus is on the US market and is expected to expand to the other states of the USA, based on the majority of new hires who worked remotely in the past 12 months, such as North Carolina, Texas, New Jersey, Minneapolis, Colorado and Missouri. The mid-to-long-term plan for expansion is expected to be the UK.
  • At present, there are 9 directors and vice presidents working at Network to Code, LLC, led by Jason Edelman who is the Founder and John Marchese who is the CEO of the company. They are expected to report to Jason and/or John.

Research Strategy

The company analysis focused on building the company profile of Network to Code, LLC, by sourcing information on the company's Website, employee LinkedIn profiles, and the other public news on the company. There is limited information on the company's plan for geographical expansion, but it is expected to be in line with the trend of the hiring of new employees who work remotely. Moreover, due to the lack of information on staff records and turnover, we assumed there were no employees who have left the company in the past 12 months. Otherwise, the growth of employees could be attributed to a high employee turnover rate.

Parsec Media has its headquarters in New York City. Additionally, the company has offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, and London. Detailed information has been entered into the attached spreadsheet. A picture of the Parsec Media office can be found in this google document.

Parsec Media — Locations

  • Parsec Media has its headquarters in New York City. Additionally, the company has offices across other locations such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and London.

Employee Overview

  • According to the company's LinkedIn profile, the company has an estimate of 11-50 employees. About 19 of the company's employees live in the United States, 16 specifically stay in the New York City area, and 2 live within the greater Los Angeles area.
  • Employees that live within the New York City area consist of sales directors, senior sales directors, SVP of product and engineering, and other administrative staff. The employees in the Los Angeles area occupy administrative positions.

Organizational Charts

Helpful Findings

  • In 2017, Parsec expanded to the West Coast and the UK. Paul Kelly was in charge of operations overseas as the commercial director.
  • Patrick Fenn was promoted to the position of sales director and was in charge of opening the company's Los Angeles office.
  • According to Comparably and Glassdoor, Parsec Media has job listings for director of sales and has conducted interviews for visual designer positions; this could be a pointer that these units are experiencing a fair share of growth.
  • The CEO of Parsec Media, Marc Guldimann, hinted that the company was building a tool that would crunch data in real-time for "performance campaign optimization."
  • Adam Heimlich, the named president of Adelaide, suggested that this was an expansion of Parsec vision.

Research Strategy

To carry out this research, we started by searching through the company's website, LinkedIn profile, and social media platforms. Through this method, we were able to identify some of the information needed. Information on employee growth, growth drivers, geographical growth, geographical expansion, the team that experienced the most growth, and any information on the consequences for no growth was unavailable. The research team got creative and decided to search through the companies annual report; we were hoping to identify new employment information, any geographical growth or expansion, and growth drivers. This search method proved abortive because Parsec Media is a private company, and it is under no obligation to publish its annual reports.

The research team employed another creative strategy of searching for the company profile on different databases such as Glassdoor, Comparably, Growjo. We were hoping to identify the employee growth percentage or any recent employment within the past 12 months to calculate the employee growth percentage. This search method proved abortive as well because, after an analysis of the company's profile, there was no indication of any employment within the past 12 months. However, through this search method, we were able to identify job listings in the sales department; this could serve as a precursor for growth in that department.

Quotient Technology operates in Europe, Asia, and North America. Its employees are mostly concentrated in the US but India provides a majority of its software engineers and product specialists. The company recently announced the expansion of most of its teams in order to be able to encompass different segments. All the information has been entered in the attached spreadsheet.

Notes

  • Quotient Technology has offices in New York, Mountain View and Marina Del Rey, CA, Cincinnati, Nashville, London, Paris, and Bangalore.
  • Their offices in California employ the most people as that's where their headquarters is situated.
  • Employees that live in Cincinnati and California range from C-level executives to marketing specialists and analysts.
  • Their employees in Bangalore, India occupy positions such as regional directors and specialist but the majority of the employees are software engineers and production specialists.
  • The COO of the company, Chad Summe, recently announced that the company has started expanding its local teams to encompass different segments, including sales, marketing, analytics, human resources, finance, and information technology.
  • While Quotient is considered a market leader in its segment, the increased number of entrants and the slow reaction of Quotient towards its competitors have made it lose some market share. If the company does not focus on expanding its team's capabilities, it can lead to serious profit loss.
  • Moreover, as Quotient has focused their recruiting efforts in the US, the future raise of the minimum wage to $15 per hour in the country could also impact its profitability margins.
  • The executive sponsors of the company include Steven Boal, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Scott Raskin, President.
  • While the company has not announced any specific geographic expansion plans, they are committed to expanding internationally at their own pace in order to be able to comply with all the diverging rules and regulations.

The main focus of our research efforts was around the company's main website, their annual reports and press releases. Unfortunately, we were not able to find any information about their geographic expansion plans in their annual reports and press releases. We also tried to find any information about the company in trusted media sites like Bizz Journals, Business Wire, and Forbes but we could only find that they were planning to expand most of its team due to the increased competition they were facing from newer entrants into the market.

The requested details about Social Studies, Inc. are presented in the attached spreadsheet. The company is headquartered in New York City.

Key Findings

  • Social Studies has one office located in New York City, United States
  • The company employs about 12 employees, excluding the executive team (CEO and COO).
  • Its office is placed in a gray multistorey building at 130 Madison Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York City.
  • Between December 2018 and July 2019, Social Studies added 5 people to its team.
  • The executive sponsors are Brandon Perlman, Founder & CEO and Matt Friesen, Co-Founder & COO.

Research Strategy

To determine if Social Studies has expansion plans, the research team examined its press releases for such announcements. It appears that the company is not keen to share this information through public media; however, it revealed that it was named one of AdWeek’s "Fastest Growing Agencies 2019." Social Studies also states that it has grown due to its proprietary research and analytics technology, and therefore, it will continue to expand on that basis. The company is privately-held; as a result, we could not access its annual reports, and the official website does address the strategic decisions too.

SoftwareONE has about 5,442 employees in 90 countries. Its workforce grew by about 90.2% in 2019. Kindly refer to the attached spreadsheet for more information.
  • SoftwareONE operates in 90 countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Caribbean, Europe, and Middle East. It has multiple offices in most of the countries. A complete list of SoftwareONE's offices can be found in this Google Doc.
  • SoftwareONE is headquartered in Stans, Switzerland, and the company does not provide a breakdown of its employee count by country or office. It only mentions in its 2019 annual report that it has 2,793, 1,487, 756, and 406 employees in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), Asia Pacific, Latin America, and NORAM (North America) regions, respectively. However, from its LinkedIn profile, India is the location with the most number of employees.
  • Although SoftwareONE does not provide a breakdown of its employees by office, the departments headed by its executive team include Sales, Innovation, Technology Services, Software Lifecycle Management, Information, Finance, Accounting, Strategy, Communications, and Operations.
  • As of December 2018, SoftwareONE had 2,862. The number rose to 5,442 by December 2019. This represents a 90.2% growth in 2019.
  • Acquisition is the main driver of employee growth for the company. In 2019 alone, it gained about 2,500 from the acquisition of Comparex.
  • According to SoftwareONE's 2019 annual report, "SoftwareONE’s operating model is built to deliver profitable growth at scale while ensuring customer proximity, with the ability to transact in more than 150 countries, and centrally provide 24/7 customer service in 13 languages." Therefore, if the company fails to grow its employee base at a significant rate, it would not be able to achieve its expansionary goals, which may affect profitability.
  • The majority of new employees in the past year came from the acquisition of Comparex. Based on Comparex's LinkedIn profile, most employees are in Sales and Information Technology. These would be the teams/organizational units that have grown the most in the past year.
  • With its latest acquisition of BNW Consulting in November 2019, SoftwareONE hoped to expand its footprint in APAC and the U.S.
  • While SoftwareONE states that workforce expansion and improvement is a priority in its Vision 2022 plan, it does not disclose the geographical regions that the company plans to expand to in the next three years. However, it has footprints in all but the Oceania region. Presumably, they might want to expand into this region if they are to achieve their goal of operating in over 150 countries.

For the Working Families Party, the data points that we weren't able to find information about were the organization's 12-month full-time employee growth rate, teams that are growing within the organization, consequences of not growing, executive sponsors, current expansion plans, and three-year expansion plans. An explanation of sources we checked in searching for that information is provided in the Research Strategy section below. All the other information requested about the organization is both included in the attached spreadsheet and provided below.

Locations

Main Employee Location

Number of Employees Per Location

  • Though we couldn't find the exact number of employees that the organization has per location, we reviewed the employees listed on the organization's Linkedin page and counted the number of employees per location. The organization does not have a staff page on its website, so this was the best way we could provide an assessment of the employee count by location.
  • The following are the number of the organization's employees who identified their location on Linkedin: New York (50); Pennsylvania (4); D.C. (6); Pennsylvania (4); Connecticut (1); Oregon (1); and Colorado (1).

Types of Employees by Location

  • We identified the types of employees who work in the organization's various locations by reviewing the organization's Linkedin page and providing the employees' position titles.
  • The following are the position titles within the organization's Brooklyn, New York, headquarters: Executive Director, Director, Project Director, Field Director, Deputy Political Director, Community Organizer, Political Coordinator, Field Manager, National Political Organizer, Development Director, Senior Political Strategist, Senior Digital Campaigner, Political Campaign Coordinator, Field Director, Canvasser, Executive Assistant, Deputy Elections Director, Online and Social Media Campaigner, Field Representative, Assistant Operations Manager, Development Coordinator, National Communications Director, National Grants Manager, Director of Operations, National Digital Director, Development Strategist, and Labor Union Director.
  • The following are the position titles within the organization's D.C. office: Director, Community Organizer, National Director of Organizing & Tech Innovation, Director of Communications, Deputy Chief of Staff, and Senior Communications Manager.
  • Two positions within the organization's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, office are Regional Political Director and Community Organizer.
  • One position within the organization's Oregon and Colorado offices is Field Organizer.
  • Within the organization's Connecticut office, there's an Executive Director.
  • The organization's Arizona office has a position titled Arizona Organizing & Campaigns Director.

Office Design

  • In March 2020, the New York Post reported that the organization recently relocated its headquarters to 81 Prospect Street from 1 MetroTech Center, both of which are in Brooklyn, New York.
  • Due to the recency of the organization's office relocation, we could not find pictures of what the new offices look like. However, we did find a picture of what the organization's office looked like at its prior location, as is shown in this Google Doc.

Growth Driver

  • The organization's success in helping to drive support for progressive politicians through grassroots efforts has been a growth driver in the past year.

Organizational Chart

Research Strategy

The data points that we weren't able to find regarding the Working Families Party were its 12-month full-time employee growth rate, teams that are growing within the organization, consequences of not growing, executive sponsors, current expansion plans, and three-year expansion plans. We used three research approaches in searching for that information. First, we reviewed the organization's website, but did not find any such information therein. Second, we conducted a press search to see if there were any articles that provided that information, in sources such as the New York Post and The Atlantic. However, we did not find any article that provided such information. Third, we checked the organization's social media, but the information therein is about policy matters, with little mention of the organization itself (and from the limited content we saw about the organization, none was about the data points we were searching for).

The requested information regarding Zeta Global's employees and locations is available in rows 19 through 32 of column AO of the attached spreadsheet.

Zeta Global's Employee Analysis

  • Zeta Global has 26 offices in 11 countries, and its headquarters is located in New York.
  • Zeta's main employee location is deduced to be in its headquarters in New York.
  • The company boasts 26 office locations with 1,500 employees worldwide, and hence, an average of 58 employees per office (1,500/26).
  • Based on company's job listings on its official web page and its business profile's LinkedIn account, it can be concluded that the offices in Bangalore and Prague employs individuals from the technology and engineering sector. Moreover, the Prague office has a significant number of operations job openings, and the office in New York has openings in marketing and client services.
  • Based on the photos taken in Zeta Global's offices, the offices are small/moderate in size. They do not appear to be luminous. The offices have basic infrastructure that seems to have been acquired some years ago already.
  • The number of employees as compared to last year dropped by 8%.
  • The main drivers of the company's recent growth are its expansion into the public market and its "deepening of business focus and investment in data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and engineering technology."
  • As mentioned before, based on the company's job listings on its official web page and its business profile's LinkedIn account, it can be deduced that the teams/organizational units that have grown the most in the last year are technology and engineering and client services.
  • Since Zeta's employee growth rate dropped by 8%, it can be deduced that given its expansion into the public market and the AI sector, it is vulnerable multiple problems due to understaffing, such as not being able to deliver its products to its clients on time.
  • The company's executive sponsors are its two founders, David Steinberg and John Sculley.
  • Regarding the company's geographical expansion plans, it recently opened a new office location in San Francisco. The company's co-founder does not officially state any further geographical expansion plans in the foreseeable future.
  • With regard to the organizational structure of the company, its key figures, including chief officers and its co-founder, John Sculley, report directly to the co-founder and CEO, David A. Steinberg.
