The Future of Britain was a two-year (2013-15) research initiative for leading media agency OMD UK, exploring the attitudes and changing behaviour within British society in the wake of the longest economic slump in 70 years.

Working in partnership with OMD UK’s insight team and MMR Research Worldwide, Simpatico PR developed research that would create multiple PR story angles covering politics, shopping, consumer lifestyles and attitudes towards international and domestic issues.
