The Future ReportLeveraging research for PR impact with Anna ColthorpeHere at McCrindle, we believe data tells a story.
While we work with numbers and statistics on a daily basis, we are also acutely aware that these numbers represent people’s beliefs, opinions, and values.

One way that statistics and stories can add real value is to a company’s public relations (PR) campaign.

The Future ReportTop baby names for 2022: The results are in with Anna Colthorpe & Kimberley LincoAnalysing baby names paints a fascinating picture of the era that we live in. The Builders generation (born before 1945) chose traditional names such as Peter, Paul, John, Karen, Jennifer, or Sharon for their children. In the 1980s, the Baby Boomers began drawing on baby name books for inspiration and trends. Meanwhile, today’s parents, Generation Y (also known as the Millennials), are not only choosing new and different names, but they are also parenting a new and unique generation – Generation Alpha.
At McCrindle, we have the privilege of gathering the top baby names and compiling the top 100 list...
