With three decades of experience, Earnscliffe Principal Doug Anderson is a seasoned researcher on public affairs and public policy issues. Whether on behalf of the public, private, or non-profit sectors, non-governmental organizations, or the academic community, Anderson has conducted opinion research studies on major policy issues to help clients understand the environment in which they operate. “I love being able to immerse myself in a topic, figure out how best to study it and help people uncover valuable insights that lead to their success,” he says. Anderson began his career with Earnscliffe in 1991 while working on his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Carleton University. In 2000, he launched Corum Research until Decima Research tempted him in 2005 to take on the task of building one of Canada’s most valuable research panels. He remained with Decima for 10 years, eventually serving as a co-leader in the company’s Canadian Public Affairs practice where he oversaw a team of researchers who studied a wide range of issues encompassing everything from health and natural resources, to energy, transportation, and international trade. An active member of various market and opinion research associations and a Certified Analytics and Insights Professional and Certified Marketing Research Professional, Anderson returned to Earnscliffe in 2015.
