YouGov sales accelerate

YouGov expects to meet profit forecasts after the data and research group saw sales momentum accelerate in the second quarter after a slow start to its financial year.

The group said: ‘The board remains cognisant of the challenging market conditions and client budget pressures as we move into the second half of the financial year.

‘Clients are increasingly looking for high-quality, data-driven solutions, and while we continue to experience longer sales cycles, we remain confident in our products and our sales momentum which, after a slow Q1, has significantly accelerated in Q2.’
