‘So what do you do?’. The question we all get asked and probably usually answer by describing what we don’t do… Like ‘no, not advertising’. We do market research. Both qualitative research (including focus groups and 1-2-1 interviews), and quantitative research. We work online and in person. And we work to understand people, segments, and culture and bring them to life for our clients in way that is memorable and impactful.
So, do you miss it? Do you miss having a participant’s cat crawl up on your lap as you’re observing an in-home ethnography? Do you miss having an impromptu analysis session with your moderator to post a full night of IDIs? Do you miss watching a focus group from behind a mirror and witnessing in person people’s gut reactions to a new ad campaign?
