Using Ground Truthing to Combat False Narratives and Challenge Assumptions

When consumers have a good experience, they tell three people. When they have a bad one, they tell ten.

How Strategists Use Cultural Context, Data, And Point of View To Tell Stories

Market researchers and strategists have a symbiotic relationship. Strategists offer a hypothesis or point of view, creating meaningful relationships between data and facts. It’s a matter of connecting the dots, not collecting the dots. While data gives voice to the consumer, strategists factor in cultural context to present a holistic picture of the narrative the data is trying to tell.

Can Survey Data Save Digital Marketers In A Post-Cookie World?

Many digital marketers have yet to come to grips with what advertising in a post-cookie world will look like.

Using Sensory Research, Social Media, and Search To Explore Cultural Shifts

Cultural conversations thrive at the intersection of social media and search. Some consumers use social media to engage in external dialogue in the “public square” of society. While others look to validate their points of view without public scrutiny by typing inquiries into search. Collectively, these shared experiences provide a window into factors driving cultural shifts that impact consumer behavior and, ultimately, purchase decisions.

Online Sample Has A Good Problem and a Very Bad One – Data Quality

Just as the market research industry began returning to normal, COVID-19 made a comeback as a new variant called “Delta.” As a result, Florida, Texas, Arkansas, and several other states are struggling with high infection rates, delaying workers’ return to the office or requiring them to work remotely.

In The Shadow Of Women’s Equality Day, Financial Inequity Persists For Women

When it comes to women’s rights, the U.S. has come a long way. It’s hard to believe that just 100 years ago, white women received the right to vote. The ability to vote and have their voices heard impacted several facets of politics and the economy. It wasn’t until 1965 that all U.S. citizens were granted the right to vote with no restrictions. However, women are still fighting for equality in many different areas of their lives, including their finances.
