About Us  
CMB is a full-service AI-enabled insights and strategy firm based in Boston. As a Top 25 Insights & Analytics company, we help leading Global brands engage, innovate, and grow by combining market research, advanced analytics, consumer psychology, AI+HI solutions, and strategic consulting. Our people are our power, and our employee-owned culture values curiosity, collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.

What about our culture?  Simply put, our people are our power.  At CMB, we’re proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work, a recognition that reflects the diverse, inclusive, and collaborative environment our team creates every day. We bring together bright perspectives and curious minds who challenge assumptions, share ideas, and push one another to be better. 

Innovation is deeply embedded in how we work. That commitment has earned us recognition as one of the GRIT Top 50 Most Innovative Companies, and it shows up daily in how we approach research, insights, and client impact. At CMB, you’ll have meaningful opportunities to achieve your full potential — from learning new skills and expanding your expertise to advancing your career in an environment where you are supported, valued, and encouraged to innovate. 

Our benefits say a lot about how much we value our employees: we offer a fully paid sabbatical, an annual wellness day, paid time off to volunteer, generous medical plans, a 401k match, and more. Every employee also gets to enjoy an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).  

ESOP?  Yes, we are 100% employee owned! An ESOP is a qualified retirement plan, similar to a 401k, but you don’t have to make any financial contributions to participate in the rewards. When we each  work hard to provide exceptional service and deliverables to our clients, the positive performance of the company increases the value of our stock and enables the accumulation of wealth for all our employee-owners.
