History

The company was founded in 1966 by Sarah Schlesinger. It is known as Schlesinger Associates from 1984, when her son Steve Schlesinger also joined the company. In 2000, Mike Sullivan joined the company as President and joint owner to oversee the development of new facilities and services across the US and in Europe.

In the years 1997-2008, Schlesinger Associates underwent a national expansion, opening offices and facilities in the major American cities. In 2006, it acquired the British market research company The Research House,[4] followed in 2010 by the simultaneous takeover of the French companies ConsuMed Research and Passerelles,[5] and in 2011 of the German company Schmiedl Marktforschung.[6]
