Global ePanel IPSOS
Ipsos work with a wide range of organisations to carry out research projects.  Members of the Ipsos Access Panels are asked to participate in this research to help organisations answer their business and policy questions.

As a member you will be invited to take part in surveys about various topics.  You will receive surveys on all sorts of topics, including some which collect your opinion on ideas for new products, your usage of current products and how you use different services offered by organisations.

Taking part in surveys is voluntary, but you can answer each survey only once. The answers you provide are combined with other people’s answers and are used to help businesses make decisions about their products and services.  The number of survey invitations you receive will vary.  On some occsions they will close the survey before you have answered it; this happens when they have a large number of people who have already responded to it.  On these occasions, you’ll receive notice that a survey is closed.

Here are the links to a couple of reviews for ipsos I found on the internet.
