Testimonials

Trusted by the best

“Caretta Portal is a game-changer, providing objective market data as our single source of truth for data-backed strategies. The Live Production market's constant change due to technology and business model shifts creates unprecedented uncertainty for our customers. In my role, I always rely on objective industry data to bring clarity to strategic planning and decision-making. Caretta Portal data helps us size opportunities, sanity-check new ideas and defend plans.
I also value my interactions with the Caretta Research team. Their deep industry insight means they're always available to double-check numbers, validate or debunk assumptions, or simply discuss the industry's state.”

Simon Hawkings,
Sales Strategy and Business Acceleration Director @ Ross Video

“We've been working with Caretta Research for many years, and Caretta Portal has become an invaluable tool for us. The ability to quickly access their analysts for ad-hoc queries, based on their extensive dataset, is something our team particularly values.”

Tim Pearson,
VP Global Product Marketing and Strategic Alliances @ NAGRAVISION

Kim Connoly,
Senior Director Market Solutions @ Avid

“Caretta Portal is a modern, continuously updated platform, ideal for competitive intelligence, market opportunity identification and targeted campaigns, which my team uses regularly. Unlike traditional market data that comes in static pivot tables, our market intelligence team finds the granular insights into competitor customers and product portfolios unique, and it enables them to generate reports quickly for me, others in Irdeto leadership, as well as sales, especially for key events.”

Lisa Spencer,
Vice President, Marketing and Communications @ Irdeto

“Caretta Research has quickly become a key resource for our strategy team. We enjoy a strong working relationship of collaboration, sharing and using information that defines and predicts market conditions and growth trends. The resulting data and insights are an important part of our business and product strategy.”

Andy Warman,
Chief Technology Officer @ Imagine Communications

“I wanted to work with someone who could quickly grasp the nuances of our metadata deployment with a major multinational pay TV operator and who could translate the benefits into something digestible yet compelling for a non-techie audience. It was also important to work with a company with the credibility and professionalism to deal with an important commercial relationship for us. Caretta Research certainly ticked these boxes and they knew what they were talking about when it came to media technology. Rob Ambrose and his team were easy to work with, responsive and communicative and most importantly they delivered what they promised on time.”
