Mintel's new Principal, Data & AI Integration post says clients increasingly use Mintel "through AI assistants and agents", that those integrations "are already live", and that "Clients who work this way stay with us longer". But the public Integrations offer on the pricing page talks only about GNPD data feeds, content in knowledge platforms and BI tools. An insights director whose company is rolling out an internal assistant has no way to learn from mintel.com that Mintel can sit inside it.

Why it works
Add an "Inside your AI assistant" block to the Integrations section and its own landing page: what clients can ask, what Mintel returns (sourced, dated, analyst-written), which systems it connects to, how access and licensing work, and one anonymised client example. Turn the same content into a one-page brief the new ABM manager can send to insight and IT leads in strategic accounts, with a meeting offer.
Enterprise buyers are choosing which sources feed their assistants right now. Saying so publicly gets Mintel onto that shortlist, and the post itself says integrated clients renew better.

Evidence
- HiringPrincipal, Data & AI Integration (London, posted October 22, 2026): "Increasingly, our clients don't come to Mintel; Mintel goes to them. They use our research and data inside their own systems - through AI assistants and agents, APIs, data feeds, dashboards and internal research tools"; "Clients who work this way stay with us longer and get more from us, and the integrations that make it possible are already live." The role will "Build a library of real use cases, case studies" for commercial teams and "keep a set of real client questions to run against every change", because "An assistant that stops finding Mintel useful never tells you."Source
- Your websitePricing page: four routes (individually priced reports with bundles that "Save up to 20%", On-Demand subscriptions with the AI tools Leap and Spark, Integrations and Consulting). The Integrations section describes GNPD data integration, content integration into "your internal knowledge platform", BI tools, automated data feeds and predictive analytics; it does not mention AI assistants or agents. The page says "Trusted by more than 5,000 global businesses" and offers "Unlimited seats".Source
