Monroe Mendelsohn Research
"Monroe Mendelsohn Research, Inc. (and its subsidiary Mendelsohn Media Research, Inc.) is an internationally recognized, full-service marketing and media research company headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1958 to provide marketing consultation and conduct custom marketing research surveys, the company has expanded beyond the custom research services it had initially been providing and now also syndicates two of America’s well-known, respected and innovative media surveys (The Mendelsohn Affluent Survey and The Mendelsohn PReSS Survey)."

• The Mendelsohn Affluent Survey provides media, demographic, and lifestyle information regarding upper-income adults. It focuses solely on the top quarter of U.S. households (currently 22%) based on current household incomes ($85,000 or higher in 2005).
• The 2006 Mendelsohn PReSS Survey measures how consumers relate to, perceive, and rate the media brands they use. The PReSS Survey focus is different than the Mendelsohn Affluent Survey in that it measures all adults in all U.S. households, not only those in households with incomes of $85,000 or higher. The PReSS results are representative of the points of view of all of the more than 210 million adults who are 18 years of age or older in the United States.
