PMA Research traces its origins to Pacific Media Associates, founded by Bill Coggshall. The company was renamed PMA Research in 2013 when Nick Rogers assumed leadership following Coggshall’s retirement. With Rogers now retiring, Apogee Insight has acquired the PMA Research organisation, including its extensive historical datasets, experienced research team, and its well-known portfolio of industry reports and services.
The existing PMA team will remain in place, including regional staff in Japan and Taiwan, ensuring uninterrupted service for clients.
Apogee Insight founders Lee Dodson and Sean Wargo will direct the organisation forward, expanding the research portfolio while investing in modern analytics technologies and additional proprietary data sources to support the evolving display market. Lee will serve as COO and Sean will serve as CAO - chief analytics officer, of PMA Research.
The acquisition will allow the organisation to extend its coverage beyond displays and into adjacent and emerging categories. The combination of PMA Research’s syndicated data portfolio and Apogee Insight’s applied research and survey capabilities will offer the ability for companies to take the PMA Research resources farther than ever before while adding deep proprietary industry data to Apogee Insight.
