Talk:Kantar TNS/Archives/2011

TNS is a door-to-door market research company
None of this article explains that TNS go around doing surveys on people's doors, bothering them at the most inconvenient times simply to ask an endless plethora of intrusive questions about buyer habits. If anyone happens to come aross these people, close the door firmly and tell them to go away. They have to keep rebranding themselves to avoid being found out for what they really are: a pathetic company. Why not do some real good in the world and add value instead of a token gesture with Unicef?. Get a real job.

And clearly they wrote this entire wikipedia page full of advertising tripe.

Management Section Removed
I removed the management section as it served only to diminish the quality of this article which already reads like an advert in parts. Unsubstantiated statements like ..."since restructured the business to meet clients’ demands for: cost effectiveness and quality of data collection; increased insight and analysis; innovation; and globalisation of services"... are clearly inappropriate for an encyclopaedia. It is unlikely that we will ever know how innovative this company is, let alone if this innovation was driven by "restructuring" or who was responsible for it.

It seems likely that it was written by an employee of the company. Sentences such as ..."instrumental in developing TNS Media Intelligence through organic growth and acquisitions"... do not sound like the work of a non-partisan editor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rob cowie (talk • contribs) 23:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Most of the article was pure advertising supported only by TNS generated press statements. I have removed all the advertising material and inserted a few independent references Dormskirk (talk) 22:23, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

cold water
Is it necessary to have an article devoted to these unpopular cold-calling c***s? For example: callid.org, whocallsme.com.Hakluyt bean (talk) 20:53, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
