See partner reportsHow we can help
Pick the form that suits your story. If you are not sure what you need, describe the topic and we will suggest something.
Data for your story
Market size, number of companies, growth and the shares of the largest players. Every figure comes with its source, date and a note on how it was produced.
Analyst comment
A few sentences on what is behind the figures, what is changing and what it means for companies or customers. Signed with name and role.
Interviews and appearances
An interview for your story, radio or TV, a podcast or a conference panel. We pick someone who knows the topic.
Charts
A chart from one of our reports or one made for your story, with a caption and source. We send an image file and the data in a spreadsheet.
Background briefing
New to a Polish industry? We explain how the market works, who matters and what to ask companies. Off the record if we agree so.
Checking figures
Have numbers from another source and not sure they hold up? We tell you where they may come from, what they measure and their limits.
What a good analyst comment contains
A comment should add something your readers will not find in a press release.
We match the length to your format: one sentence for a news item, a few paragraphs for an analysis, a longer conversation for an interview.

Questions from journalists
Working with us
Do you charge for data or comments?
No. Data for your story, an analyst comment and interviews are free for newsrooms. Only a report prepared specifically for publication is paid.
How quickly do you reply?
We first confirm whether we can help. We agree the delivery time for data or a comment with you, depending on the topic and scope. If it is urgent, say so in your message or call us.
Can I call instead of writing?
Yes. Our press contact is Agnieszka Wolska: +48 601 091 860. For longer questions we will ask for a short e-mail with the scope.
Do you comment in English?
Yes. We comment in English and Polish.
Do I have to link to MarketHub?
We ask you to name the source: “Source: MarketHub, markethub.pl”. Online, a link to the page with the data helps readers check the figures, but it is not a condition of working with us.
Can I get a quote approved?
Yes. Send the quote to the address you received the comment from and tell us your deadline.
Do you give interviews or appear on air?
Yes. Tell us the format, topic and date, and we will suggest someone from the team.
Can we talk off the record?
Yes. If you want to understand an industry first, we can set up a background briefing. We agree beforehand what you can quote.
Data
Where does your data come from?
From our own analyses and reports, public data such as Statistics Poland (GUS) and company registers, and interviews with companies in the industry. We give the source and date of every figure.
In what form do you send data?
Usually in the body of an e-mail with a source line. Larger tables come as a spreadsheet and charts as image files.
Can I use charts from your reports?
Yes, with the source named. If you need a chart in another form or a higher resolution, write to us.
What if your figures differ from another source?
We explain where the difference comes from: a different market definition, period or method. If needed, we give both values.
Do you comment on specific companies?
Yes, on the basis of public data such as financial statements and registers. We do not disclose information from client projects.
Can you prepare data on a topic you have not published on?
If we have access to the data and there is enough time, yes. If the topic needs its own research, we will suggest a report for publication.
Reports for publication
What is a report for publication?
A market analysis or short survey prepared specifically for a story, a series, a newsroom report or an event. We agree the release date with your newsroom. See partner reports.
Can a newsroom co-publish a report?
Yes. A report can appear under the newsroom’s brand or under both brands. We agree the rules before we start.
