Behavix has announced a strategic partnership with Fair Response as part of its push to expand behavioral intelligence capabilities in the U.S. market. Helsinki- and New York–based Behavix develops AI-powered tools that capture and analyze consent-based digital behavioral signals across devices, turning them into insights used by industries such as market research, advertising, and finance. Fair Response operates consumer research panels focused on high-quality survey samples and respondent-first engagement. Through the partnership, Behavix’s passive behavioral data will be integrated with Fair Response’s stated survey responses, enabling clients to combine what consumers say with how they actually behave online. The collaboration is expected to strengthen U.S. panel coverage and support Behavix’s broader rollout of its Audience Feed behavioral profiling solution to additional global markets in 2026.
Behavix is a Helsinki- and New York–based research technology (ResTech) company that develops tools for collecting and analyzing digital behavioral data. Its platform captures consent-based activity signals from users’ devices and online interactions and processes them with AI to generate behavioral insights used by market research, advertising, and financial analytics firms. Founded in 2024, the company focuses on combining passive behavioral data with traditional research methods to help organizations better understand how consumers interact with digital services and content.
“I’ve known Matt and John for a long time, and what they are building at Fair Response is truly unique. By joining forces and investing in their vision, we are creating a powerhouse US panel that bridges the gap between what consumers say and what they actually do,” said Hannu Verkasalo, CEO and Co-Founder of Behavix.
Fair Response is a U.S.-based consumer research panel operator that provides survey respondents and audience samples for market research studies. Founded by industry professionals Matt Gershner and John Taliercio, the company runs the “Fair Opinions” panel and focuses on recruiting and managing survey participants, primarily through mobile-first channels. Its platform is designed to supply research firms and brands with participant data for surveys and studies, while incorporating fraud detection tools and panel management systems to monitor response quality.
“Data quality is our foundation,” added Matt Gershner, CEO of Fair Response. “Integrating Behavix’s behavioral layer allows us to deliver authentic, real-world insights that simply cannot be captured through traditional surveys alone. This is the next level of respondent engagement and client value”.
Behavix is officially announcing a strategic partnership with Fair Response, a novel, US-based online panel company. Led by industry veterans Matt Gershner and John Taliercio, Fair Response is redefining the respondent experience through its flagship “Fair Opinions” panel, utilizing mobile-first recruitment and advanced fraud detection.
The US remains the world’s largest market research arena, with an estimated 330 million internet users in 2026—a 94% penetration rate—who spend an average of nearly 7 hours online daily. This partnership combines Behavix’s passive behavioral signals with Fair Response’s high-quality stated data to create the most modern intelligence platform in the US.
Finally, Behavix is launching its Audience Feed solution globally, offering it free-of-charge to panel companies. This solution allows panel owners to profile consumers using behavioral data passively, and simultaneously creating a new, incremental monetization channel without increasing survey fatigue. This new product involves automatic creation of thousands of profile attributes for panelists that are enabled with Behavix behavioral data intelligence, and capabilities to combine the best of survey research in real-time with behavioral passively capture triggers. The solution also provides various tools and data for panel fraud detection and panelist quality assessment.
Reflecting on the vision outlined by CEO/Co-Founder Hannu Verkasalo, this new solution is slated to roll out to 5 new markets this year. This shift addresses the “participation fatigue” plaguing the industry by replacing long, repetitive screeners with automated behavioral eligibility, profiling, automated and behaviorally targeted surveys, and various recurring and project-based monetization opportunities by combining the best of survey and behavioral research.
“The industry must move from being survey vendors to becoming behavioral operating systems,” concluded Hannu Verkasalo. “With our Audience Feed solution, we are helping panels worldwide boost their ARPU and strategic relevance by monetizing intelligence, not just respondents”.
