history
Forethought launched as a specialist operating division of Roberts Research Group (Roberts) in April 2006.
Prior to this, Forethought conducted research under the Roberts banner. Established in 1993, Roberts Research Group differentiated itself as a research firm with a strong academic focus and refined industry knowledge, forming a modest number of partnerships with a selection of Australia’s largest corporations.
Over nearly two decades, Roberts has grown to enjoy partnerships with a range of Australian and international organisations, across a number of services markets, while proudly maintaining many of the partnerships established in the earlier years.
Many of our clients regard their relationship with Roberts as competitive advantage and prefer that we do not publish their identities.
Roberts operates under two divisions: Forethought, which offers highly customised research solutions, and Forebrand, which offers high value syndicated research.
