Company Overview:

Nailbiter is transforming traditional market research through its innovative Behavioural Videometrics Platform.

With headquarters in Herndon, Virginia (USA), and a growing global presence including London, New York, Chicago, Paris, Dubai, and Mumbai, Nailbiter observes and analyses shopper and consumer behaviour both in-store and online at scale. Ranked #8 in the Top 50 Most Innovative Companies by clients in the 2024 GRIT Report (up from #12 in 2023), and #2 in Most Innovative Data & Analytics Providers, our platform converts video data into actionable brand metrics that empower Brand, Shopper, Category, and Insights teams. We work with the majority of the top 20 global FMCG companies and have demonstrated consistent growth since our founding in 2015.

Our proprietary technology enables manufacturers and researchers to “see” and “hear” their consumers make purchasing decisions. These consumer interactions—captured via video—are then quantitatively coded using AI and human analysts to surface both stated and latent motivations. This approach uncovers hidden barriers to product success, delivering insights that drive immediate, evidence-based decision-making for our clients.

At Nailbiter, we are committed to a culture built on fairness, diversity, and mutual respect. We embrace change and innovation, providing an exciting environment for individuals who are eager to make a meaningful impact in the fast-evolving world of Behavioural Videometrics.
