Announcement due to the earthquake disaster in Japan

As been reported, a massive earthquake hit the Tohoku region of Japan on Friday, March 11th afternoon local time. As of now yet, the whole country including the Tokyo metropolitan area is under threat of continuous aftershocks and Tsunami caused by them.
However first we would like our clients and partners to know that we have confirmed the safety of all our staffs now based in our Tokyo Headquarter office.

We are still trying to get a handle of the situation, but in regards to the assumed impact to our services, we do need to make it clear that there is a very high possibility of delaying in progress of any projects now in field or those scheduled to be launched soon. In respect to our panelists and considering the situation, we will be holding from sending out any new survey invitations at least for the weekend, and for the policies from next Monday we will be determining according to the circumstances.

Our pricing team and project management team in Manila, Philippines will be operating from Monday as usual, and we'd like to assure that there will be no negative impact to the projects of other Asian countries we cover (including our proprietary panel in China and South Korea). 

Whenever we have further update in the situation of Japan, we will make sure to announce again. For any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

We truly appreciate all your kind consideration given and thank you for your understanding.
