Seven Letter launches Seven Letter Insight, a public opinion and messaging research offering. The new offering will be led by Matt George, founder and president of Matt George Associates and a former partner at Luntz Global Partners. The agency says that Seven Letter Insight will provide qualitative and quantitative research tools as well as delivering audience segmentation targeting, granular messaging insights and in-depth data analysis. “Our approach with Seven Letter Insight is to deliver honest and accurate data analysis to craft effective, impactful messaging and reputation campaigns,” said George. Along with the announcement of the expanded service, Seven Letter Insight has released results from its first-ever Seven Letter Insight Voter Priorities Survey, which polled 1,500 people nationwide to gain insight into voter attitudes and views following the election. Among its findings: 79 percent of Trump voters said that they believe the election was “stolen” through “illegal voting and fraud” and 66 of GOP voters think President Trump should run again for president in 2024. However, 63 percent of Republicans said the president should stop using Twitter to discuss politics.
