We heard the concerns about pulling budgets together with the looming threat of recession.

Given we have access to exceptional respondents we’ve decided to use our unique insight into the current market trends and give you the lowdown on what to expect looking forward. And so wave 6 of our Business Barmoter was created.

Sapio’s international business barometer is our way of shedding light on where the world might be heading. It’s more ambitious than the original barometer and will help astute businesses plan confidently and seize the opportunities. Particularly PR & Marketing Agencies!

You’ll not be left in the dark when you download our report, and it’s free.

Read about it in the press here.
