PeopleMetrics was founded in 2001 by Sean McDade and is headquartered in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. The firm helps mid-to-large enterprises gather, analyze, and act on verified customer and employee feedback through survey-based research and structured programs.
The company's core offerings include Net Promoter Score (NPS) programs, customer advisory boards built on verified respondent panels, CSAT tracking, and custom research engagements. Its proprietary Interactive Avatar technology—a conversational AI interface—converts static research findings into a queryable format accessible to internal teams without requiring data analyst support. Clients include MetLife, Merck, Travel + Leisure, and Mutual of Omaha.
PeopleMetrics is privately held with no disclosed outside funding and employs between 11 and 50 people. The company targets sectors including healthcare, financial services, and hospitality, where measuring and activating customer experience insights is a core operational priority.

Who PeopleMetrics competes with, and how they differ.
Qualtrics is a much larger, self-serve enterprise XM suite spanning customer and employee experience across large IT deployments; PeopleMetrics instead pairs a smaller VoC/NPS platform with hands-on custom research and advisory-board work for mid-market and B2B/pharma clients.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedMedallia is an enterprise-scale CX platform built around AI text and speech analytics for very high feedback volumes, typically sold to large enterprises; PeopleMetrics targets a smaller client base with a bundled platform-plus-consulting model rather than a standalone analytics suite.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedInMoment (formed from the 2020 merger of InMoment and MaritzCX) runs the same hybrid model of a CX platform plus managed research services as PeopleMetrics, but at larger scale with a broader multi-industry client roster.
