Marta Mezzanzanica

Marta Mezzanzanica is a Research Director in the Attitudinal Surveys and the NatCen Panel team where she leads the NatCen Opinion Panel, the UK’s first mixed-mode random probability research panel. In this role, Marta manages and delivers quantitative research on a wide range of topics for various clients, including government departments, charities, and academics.

Marta has a wealth of experience at all stages of mixed-mode and multi-mode studies, including survey development, participant communications, interviewer briefing, fieldwork monitoring, analysis and reporting.

During her tenure at NatCen, Marta has contributed to some of Britain’s largest longitudinal surveys, such as the National Child Development Study (NCDS) for the Centre for Longitudinal Studies and the Technical Educational Learners study (Tech Ed) for the Department of Education.

Before joining NatCen, Marta worked at Codici sc, a social research agency specialising in ‘action-research’ and ‘empowerment processes’ on issues such as education, communities, inclusion, and migration. Additionally, she managed large-scale mixed-mode customer satisfaction surveys at Doxa (now BVA Doxa).

Marta holds an MSc (Hons) in Sociology from Università degli Studi di Milano (Milan). Her dissertation, which focused on the politics of the body, used in-depth interviews to explore the narratives of young Afro-Italians and their role in redefining the meaning of afro hairdos.
