Wilton analytics firm expands Midwest operations

Wilton-based Marketing Management Analytics (MMA) announced an expansion of its Chicago operations Nov. 27, saying that it expects revenues to more than double between 2010 and the end of this year.

MMA, a subsidiary of global market research company Ipsos, provides analytics services for companies in the consumer products, retail, and restaurant fields, among several other specialty areas.

The company’s Midwest expansion comes a year after MMA opened a new office in Manhattan, which currently supports more than half of its business.

MMA said it has hired two new executives and a half-dozen analytics professionals to complement its existing Chicago team, with plans to continue hiring through 2013.

“Our expanded presence in the New York and Chicago markets is consistent with our global consulting and service growth model,” said CEO Patrick Cummings in a prepared statement.
