20 Companies That Are “…The Breakthroughs We Have Been Waiting For…”

by Leonard Murphy

Innovations dans les études + financeurs

logo_na

 

The Insight Innovation Competition has been one of my absolute favorite initiatives since Ray Poynter and Pravin Shekar suggested it as part of the very first Festival of NewMR five years ago.  The idea of developing a research-centric innovation competition for young companies to gain exposure, support, and capital was something new for our space, but from it’s inception the response from the industry has been phenomenal. To date close to 100 companies have entered and 42 have made it to the final round, with 7 winners  going on to win the prize.  Many of the participating companies have received funding or been acquired, with even more going on to organic success through new clients and partners.

In short, the IIC is making a difference for all stakeholders in the marketing insights space, and that has always been the goal. We’re thrilled it continues to evolve and deliver on that promise!

In this most recent round, 19 companies officially threw their hats in the ring, and this may be the strongest group of participants ever. But don’t take my word on it. Long-time GreenBook Blog follower and one of my favorite contrarians,  industry veteran Christopher Noel Robinson, commented on LinkedIn:

Christopher Noel Robinson: Leonard I hate to admit it, but some of these are the breakthroughs we have been waiting for. Hats off to IIex!!

If you don’t know Christopher, believe me there is no higher praise! If he thinks we have some game changers in this wave, then we do indeed have some companies that might go on to great things!

Here are the final results from the open voting phase. Click here to go to the site and check out each of these great entrants!

Each presentation will last 10 minutes: 5 minutes to pitch and 5 minutes for Q&A from the judges. The panel of judges will be moderated by Gregg Archibald, Senior Partner at Gen2 Advisors.

Using a 10-point scale for each category, judges rate each presentation on:

  • Originality of concept
  • Presentation quality
  • Market potential
  • Scalability
  • Ease of Implementation

On June 17, 2015 we’ll reveal the scores. The highest final score wins. The winner takes home the pot and chooses which of the judges they would like to engage with afterwards as a mentor.

A BIG thanks needs to go out to our IIC sponsors who fund the prize:

Although the other 13 companies that entered won’t get a chance to present to the judges and win the prize, since we believe everyone deserves as much attention as possible and should still have a chance to network with the potential clients, partners, and investors at the event we’re going to ensure they all get a spot on stage at the conference!

Several of them had previously been given stand-alone speaking opportunities, so these companies will still be presenting their solutions in those agenda spots:

  • Usenns: neurotechnology for non-conscious emotion detection in MRX studies
  • Upfront Analytics
  • Affinio Inc.
  • AnswerRocket – like Google™ for Customer Insights
  • YouEye Agile Experience Analytics Platform
  • Ditto
  • KnowledgeHound (An entrant from the Amsterdam IIC who could not make it there)

We’re working on creating some additional “Fast Pitch” session space in the agenda right now where the remainder (as well as a few other companies who wanted to enter the competition at the last minute but we convinced not to due to time constraints) will have an opportunity to make 10 minute presentations on their capabilities and business use cases to attendees. Those companies include:

  • Market Research Cloud™
  • LeadSift Inc
  • VoxPopMe
  • BX
  • Cool Tool
  • Impact Groups
  • Thumb
  • AXIL Engage (last minute pre-entrant)
  • Consensus Point (last minute pre-entrant)

One of the benefits of winning the competition is to also present at future IIeX events, so 4 of our past winners will also be presenting at IIeX to demonstrate to the industry their progress in making a difference in the creating business impact for their clients and helping to drive innovation across the board. Look for sessions with these folks at the conference:

  • Dalia
  • Decooda
  • Glimpzit
  • Zappistore

And if all of that isn’t enough, we have another Baker’s Dozen of young companies presenting throughout the event (some are past IIC finalists as well!), many of which are from outside of the research space and are coming through our relationship with the ATDC incubator in Atlanta.

  • Autocruitment

  • Merlin
  • OfficeReports
  • Pointivo
  • Predikto
  • Protobrand

How To Conduct Online Qualitative Research To Test Ads

by Paul Rubenstein, Ph.D
Jean-Philippe Cunniet

Méthodologie étude de packaging (online)

OLFG

 

By Paul Rubenstein, Ph. D.

For decades, qualitative research has been used to inform advertising and communication strategies and to test ads before they are made public.  Steps in the development process usually have organizations (and their agencies) moving from creating advertising concepts, to designing story boards and animatics, to assembling final executions.  All of this, often times, is fueled by the insights gathered at each point using traditional focus groups.

And it is the focus group that has been the predominant method used to achieve ad testing related study objectives.  Data collected in these studies are used to inform strategies and tactics in terms of what to say and how to say it.  That is because consumers’ opinions about the subject matter and specific stimuli to which they are asked to opine is used as the foundation of advertising and communications.

Particularly when brainstorming is needed among consumers, conditions that foster creativity can be facilitated by a group setting.  Being able to hear others’ ideas help individuals come up with ones of their own.  Furthermore, role playing and other projective techniques represent tried and true exercises that have been used successfully in focus groups conducted for ad testing purposes for many years.  Simply, a moderator is not worth his salt if he has never used some of these techniques, at least sometimes, and certainly for ad development purposes.

However, there are several highly effective projective techniques and other kinds of exercises that are highly problematic to execute in an in-person setting such as a focus group facility.  Whether it is perception mapping or sorting, story-telling projectives, image tracking or text tracking, or dial-testing exercises that are needed to be deployed, using printed materials, markers, scrap paper, glues, pins, dials, or spit and tissue paper, successfully managing these kinds of research techniques are among the greatest challenges to a moderator.

In contrast, shifting data collection methods from face-to-face (F2F) to an (asynchronous) online qualitative research platform that has these functions will not only produce more data and cost less than focus groups, but will enable these sorts of advanced research techniques to be utilized more easily and the data gathered will be analyzed with greater precision.

To begin, let’s understand the entire research agenda involved at various steps in the development and execution of advertising campaigns.  The figure below may serve to do this in one graphic.

PR1


Consideration Research

As stated earlier, the entire end-to-end process involved in advertising development can be boiled down to three (3) simple questions:

  1. What should the ad say?
  2. How should it be said?
  3. How well did the ad work?

These fundamental questions can be mapped to specific types of research studies, namely, consideration, articulation and execution, and evaluation studies, respectively.  Beginning with consideration research, the main objective is to understand the equity of a given brand within the context of its competitive landscape.  As such, the researcher must uncover and reveal how consumers conceptualize the industry in question and which key characteristics drive their consideration of one brand over others.

A useful technique for consideration research is perception mapping, which can be executed in both quantitative as well as qualitative research.  In quantitative research, a set of multivariate techniques are brought to bear, including discriminant function analysis, correspondence analysis, or multi-dimensional scaling.  The resulting perception map that is formed from the pattern in the quantitative data shows how target consumers view the similarities and differences between brands and which brand characteristics define each best.

But a highly useful, first phase of consideration research may warrant a qualitative study that is used to inform the subsequent quantitative phase.  In this case, a perception mapping exercise, similar to what has been used in focus groups for so many years, may be improved in its execution if done online.  Through simple and fun “drag-and-drop” motions that participants are instructed to perform, a resulting perception map may be determined accurately and easily, as shown below in a mock example:

 

PR2

 

As the map shows, the position of each logo is automatically determined by the programming of the platform which is set to place each one at the average X and Y bi-variate coordinates calculated from the pool of participants in the study.  To do so accurately using F2F methods is almost impossible.  Furthermore, using an online qualitative research platform for this purpose enables the moderator to filter the data with a button push or two in order to test any study objectives that warrant subgroup analyses.

For that matter, other projectives that require drag and drop may also be used.  These include various sorting exercises in which the number of or labels for the categories may or may not be provided in advance, such as shown below:

 

PR3


And yet another projective technique that has been utilized for decades in focus groups is what is known as “Story-Telling.”  This technique uses a set of images that evoke various positive and negative emotions in people.  These images are shown to participants who are asked to choose, from the set, ones that they then put in some order and used to tell a story about the subject matter.  This exercise is most easily facilitated online through drag and drop functions built into the platform and yield individual responses that are captured along with (text-based) stories.  Moreover, these stories integrating images and text can be readily copied and pasted into the moderator’s report with a few button pushes, as opposed to the tallying (by hand) of each story, each image, and each participant’s ID number as would be the case in a traditional focus group setting.

Articulation Research

In Articulation research, the main objective is to inform “how to say it.”  This, too, can entail integrated phases of both qualitative and quantitative studies, one informing the other and each designed to do just that.  Regardless of the type of study, it will include gathering the reactions from target consumers to a distinct advertising/communication stimulus, e.g., print ad, advertising concept description.

For these types of qualitative studies, moderating discussion among participants to generate their ideas for ads is usually a part.  In addition, participants also are shown various articulations that have been developed by the organization and/or its ad agency.  These stimuli then become the grist for the mill to sharpen, clarify, improve, or even eliminate by using functions such as image tracking or text tracking.  As can be seen by the example below, participants can isolate portions of the stimuli according to the moderator’s needs, such as “draw a red circle around the portions you like.”

 

PR4

 

Likewise, in the case of text tracking shown below, the instructions to the participant may be to “highlight the specific words you find confusing.”

 

PR5

 

And if the stimulus is a video as opposed to a static image, such as a TV commercial, dial-testing is arguably the best and most sophisticated technique to evaluate this kind of stimulus.  It directly shows at what point during the span of time of the commercial (e.g., 30 seconds, 60 seconds) participants liked or disliked the ad and is usually utilized after a finished commercial has been developed and about to air.

 

PR6

 

All of these articulation testing exercises have been used in focus groups for a long time, for at least the past 20 years.  I remember many years ago having to carry the heavy, sometimes reliable dial testing equipment to the special facility with auditorium seating to run dial-testing focus groups.  These groups were very expensive for the client and nerve racking to the moderator as dials, wires and their connections would, sometimes, be faulty.

But nowadays, thanks to online qualitative research platforms, all these functions are facilitated very easily, and far less expensively.  Aggregating the data, creating output, and including it in final report deliverables is handled by some clicks on the screen.

This is a great time in the history of the market research industry to be in this business.  The confluence of broadband connectivity, digital technology, and the comfort level and skill of consumers in communicating so easily and so well within computer-mediated environments has made the need to conduct F2F qualitative research increasingly threadbare.  Truly, the net effect of these factors in combination has opened up a whole new world of possibilities in social research in general and market research in particular.  Considering that focus groups have been done the same way for over four decades, qualitative research was very much in need of some fresh approaches.  Conversely, quantitative research has undergone radical shifts and improvements as a function of advances in technology over this same period and that have improved data quality and reduced cost and time requirements.  Indeed, it is a rare occasion when quantitative surveys need to be administered F2F, e.g., mall intercepts.

Indeed, moderators will be ever more hard pressed to rationalize to clients their choice of F2F and why they are not shifting to an online method for studies like these.  Indeed, better, cheaper, and faster is a compelling argument that forces client-side research managers to embrace online methods as they, too, will need to rationalize their choices to the clients they serve within their organizations.

11 définitions de la Customer Experience (CX).

by noreply@blogger.com (Christian barbaray)
L'expérience client (CX) est un mot à la mode (un buzz Word !) qui est rapidement devenu une pratique commerciale clé.

Face à cette nouvelle obsession de la « Customer Experience », il est nécessaire de clarifier ce que c’est.

De nombreux dirigeants assimilent CX avec le Service à la clientèle, ce qui n’est pas la même chose.
Le service client, c'est un département ou un état d’esprit (c'est mieux) mais ce n’est  pas la CX !
Voici 10 définitions qui aident à préciser la définition de la Customer Experience  (CX), bien que d’auteurs différents, elles se rejoignent sur de nombreux points.


La CX, c’est :
  • 1. La façon dont les clients se souviennent de la totalité de leurs interactions avec votre entreprise - Harley Manning, Forrester Research
  • 2. La proposition de valeur fournie à un client : du produit service de base, à toutes les interactions avant et après-vente avec le client - Lior Arussy, Strativity Groupe
  • 3. Une interaction entre un organisme et un client perçue par le conscient et le subconscient d'un client - Colin Shaw, Beyond Philosophy
  • 4. Les sentiments des clients créés, de manière ponctuelle et cumulative, par les interactions avec les employés, les canaux, les services ou les produits d'un fournisseur - Ed Thompson, Gartner
  • 5. L’effet cumulatif des multiples points de contact, qui se traduit au fil du temps par un réel sentiment de relation ou de distance - Martin Zwilling
  • 6. La totalité des relations entre vos clients et votre entreprise, pas seulement à un moment précis, mais durant tout le parcours de leur vie de client - Adam Richardson 
  • 7. La perception que les clients ont de leurs interactions avec une organisation- Bruce Temkin, Experience Matters
  • 8. Cela englobe toutes les interactions qu’une personne peut avoir avec votre marque - Tim Lowden, Digital Gov
  • 9. La perception de vos clients - à la fois consciente et inconsciente - de leur relation avec votre marque sur l'ensemble de leurs interactions marque au cours du cycle de vie du client – SAS
  • 10. L'ensemble des interactions d'un client avec une entreprise et ses produits. L'expérience globale reflète la façon dont le client perçoit et ressent l'entreprise et ses offres.  The Business Dictionary
  • 11. Le suivi de la performance d'une organisation (rationnelle et émotionnelle) par rapport aux attentes des clients, à travers tous les moments de contact - Colin Shaw, Beyond Philosophy
Billet traduit du blog de Green Mango Solutions,société Canadienne (Ontario) spécialisée dans l’Experience client.
