Setting the scene
Opening keynote speaker
Laura Chaibi, Director of Research, EMEA, Yahoo!, UK
The digital media research world moves FAST; so fast that as soon as you’ve built up research techniques to measure and research within this space, it’s moved like a disruptive tornado. Listen to what it’s like being in the eye of the data storm as a digital media researcher and discover business techniques being used to stay relevant in today’s 3D world.
Alice Louw, TNS, South Africa
Jan Hofmeyr, TNS, South Africa
The era of the long and drawn out survey is drawing to an end. In the digital age, we can no longer afford to waste time asking irrelevant questions. Attention spans are short and new research methodologies such as mobile simply cannot support long questionnaires. To succeed in today's research environment, a clear focus is required. This presentation examines a variety of classical survey measures to establish which measures link to reality and which do not. The time has come to sift through all of the "standard" measures and spring clean: what is worth keeping and what should have been thrown away a long time ago?
First Dimension: Online Panels and Data Collection
Steven Gittelman, SampleSolutions, USA
The war for online quality is being fought at respondent engagement. So far, the solution appears to be identifying offenders and eliminating them. However, not all satisficers are equal, we need rules of engagement that guide us toward eliminating those respondents who provide us with poorly considered data and have an impact on the deductions and decisions we might make from that data. It is not enough to eliminate the worst offender; some measure of how much damage they cause needs to be included. This presentation addresses the construction of a new metric that includes considerations of satisficing, data shift, and sample size. In a real war there are rules of engagement that dictate under what circumstances commanders can order their troops to fire, here such guidelines are provided for our industry.
Piet Hein van Dam, Wakoopa, The Netherlands
Market research is happily embracing the possibilities offered by new technologies, such as online research communities, gamification and mobile surveys. Yet, with the proliferation of the internet, we will also have to do the hard work – getting the metrics right. Our clients, publishers and advertisers alike, need better answers to the two basic questions they have: How many people are visiting my site, or seeing my ad? And who are they? Cookie-based techniques are falling short, despite complex and time- consuming techniques like data-fusion. This presentation presents an alternative to serve clients better. Using robust statistics and a single source panel equipped with state of the art behavioural metering, one can obtain more accurate data on online reach and audience.
Jörn Schulz, Telekom Innovation Laboratories, Germany
Wikipedia, the biggest (online) encyclopedia the world has ever seen, has an enormous impact on how information and knowledge is being codified, presented, and consumed today. Thus, it is essential to observe the social actors behind the project. Questions that need to be asked are: Who are the Wikipedians, the thousands and thousands of volunteers that write and edit and rewrite the millions of Wikipedia articles? What motivates them to undergo this laborious but unprestigious task? Quantitative surveys do not bring answers to these questions. However, ethnography seems to be an appropriate research method for exploring the lifestyles, daily routines, and beliefs of those diligent editors.
Second Dimension: Social Media Research and Online Communities (Part I)
Michael Rodenburgh, Ipsos Open Thinking Exchange, Canada
In an attempt to leverage social media data within the context of traditional survey research, Ipsos OTX is changing its approach to conducting research by focusing on Socialized Research. Socialized Research blends traditional MR techniques with forward-thinking social media and technology solutions to truly revolutionize our industry. Today’s social media environment allows researchers to collect massive amounts of individual-level data; a trend that will continue across all digital devices in the field. This singular view of consumer data will change marketing research forever. Socialized Research is about blending active, passive and interactive research methodologies. This presentation will outline lessons learned, guidelines and considerations for these new approaches to MR.
Martin Einhorn, Porsche, Germany
Olaf Hofmann, SKOPOS, Germany
The amount of user-generated content (UGC) in social media is rising constantly. More and more consumers exchange their product and brand experiences using social media platforms. For this reason an in-depth analysis of content in social media seems to be an attractive alternative to traditional research methods because data is already available and at first glance it only has to be analyzed. A joint project between Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG and the market research agency SKOPOS examines whether and to what extent social media analysis is able to provide valid insights. In what cases and when does social media analysis replace traditional research and when does it reach its limitations?
Christian Kugel, AOL, USA
Joseph Blechman, AOL, USA
Curtis Frazier, Probit Research, USA
Social functionality has transformed the online news category. Sharing via social networks and adding comments to articles creates a new dimension to how people experience current events. For example, readers generate six million comments every month on The Huffington Post, making it among the most social content sites on the Internet. What has been missing to date is an understanding of how comments enhance or detract from the readers’ experiences. To illuminate this void, this research used a ratings-based conjoint to disentangle 16 various attributes of user comments to create a standard measure for their marginal utility. This structure was then used to create a composite index of major news sites to determine the composition, and ultimately, the user value of each sites’ comment base.

Jo Steyaert, iVOX, Belgium
According to Forrester, more and more agencies offer Market Research Online Community (MROC) services alongside other methods. Nonetheless, efficiently coping with the huge amount of text that some MROCs produce often remains a challenge. This presentation looks at how Text Analytics can be a helpful tool for a community moderator and for a qualitative researcher in dealing with these problems. More specifically how Cluster Analysis, ConceptNet, WordNet and Latent semantic analysis (LSA) can be deployed in the context of Community Research is examined. A case is presented in which these techniques were used to improve efficiency of deploying an MROC, both in terms of improving monitoring and in terms of supporting qualitative researchers in the reporting phase, leading to more solid results.
Rakesh Kumar, Firefly Millward Brown, Singapore
Madhumita Chakraborty, PepsiCo International, India
For youth marketers like Pepsi, this means that social media could be a potent tool to keep abreast of changing youth values, expressions and aspirations. While marketers realize the growing importance of tapping into youth conversations in channels outside of qualitative FGDs, in most of these countries face to face research is still the norm; and social media is seen as largely a channel to communicate - not really listen - to youth. Firefly's approach of e-mmersions understands the ‘schizophrenic self’ at play. The qualitative social media shadowing process reveals nuances of their double lives and the impact it has at a sub conscious level, thereby enabling deep insighting that could leverage consumer insights to the next level.

The London Olympic Games is the major global sporting event of 2012 with four million viewers expected for the opening ceremony. Social media now plays a prominent role in TV, and is key for brands, active in social media arenas, to understand how to mobilise the power of social media exposure, utilise it to increase engagement, and affect the legacy of the brand in a positive way. Brands regularly associate themselves with major sporting events around the globe, and these social interactions have the opportunity to affect relationships between the audience and brands to a higher degree than ever before. Through the delivery of successful social media activity around an event, brands can create advocacy for their brand long after the event has finished.
Tuesday, 6 November - Conference day two
Second Dimension: Social Media Research and Online Communities (Part II)
Jos Vink, Blauw Research, The Netherlands
Anke ten Velde, Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions, The Netherlands
In the last few years, organisations have realised the potential that social media offers as a way of communicating their messages and helping to deliver their marketing strategies. Equally, we as researchers have been focused on the potential of social media as a new source of information to understand consumer behaviour. This has prompted the development of automated 'social media analysers' which can monitor volume, reach and sentiment of what's being said on Facebook, Twitter, etc. In this presentation, Blauw demonstrates that the measurement of these KPIs is not only insufficient but can lead to erroneous conclusions. Blauw demonstrates that traditional analysis techniques are essential if meaningful and actionable conclusions are going to come from the analysis of social media content.
Robert Ellis, COG Research, UK
Facebook has become a highly attractive advertising medium, but effectiveness and how the channel works are still little understood. Metrics such as 'likes' are available but offer little insight. We believe that social media work differently to conventional ads, but just how do they work, and how well? This research used a new implicit test (IRT) developed by COG to track effects from two social media campaigns for a major brand, and the effect of each in combination with mainstream TV advertising. The research took place within Facebook pages among users, and provided dramatic evidence of how effective social media campaigns could be, and how different approaches produced different outcomes.
Guest speaker
Feryal Hemamda, InMobi, UK
As media continues its transition from the physical and analog world to the digital screen, it's important to understand how this has impacted consumers' consumption habits. The second wave of the Media Consumption Study series by InMobi (conducted among 16,000+ respondents across 5 continents) provides a robust view on the changing media consumption and mobile usage behaviors in high growth markets. This session will identify how consumers' media & shopping behaviors have changed with the increase in smartphones & tablets, including the who, when, what, where and why.
Third Dimension: Mobile Research Fast Track
Anouk Willems, InSites Consulting, Belgium
Annelies Verhaeghe, InSites Consulting, Belgium
2012 is the year of mobile, and many great market research attempts at integrating mobile in the toolbox have been made. So far, however, there are a couple of dimensions missing in the discussion. This presentation will describe: 1) the benefits of mobile surveying, beyond the tool; 2) the use of mobile in Market Research Online Communities; and 3) mobile as a topic of research and a huge business opportunity . This presentation will provide answers to these missing dimensions with the aid of case studies of eBay Classifieds and a retailer.
Christian Dubreuil, Research Now, UK
Sally Joubert, Luma Research, Australia
Mobile research has long been discussed, but now it seems the opportunity and the capability are intersecting. Collaborating with Luma Research, this case study looks at the future of mobile, and will explore how Smartphone applications impact the approach, conduct, and results of research. The findings indicate that Smartphone research is likely to present a relevant and engaging opportunity to the conduct of market research, and has the potential to become one of the main methodologies employed in market research in the short to medium term. Join this presentation as the possibilities that lie ahead of us with mobile research are explored.
Misha Tsvelik, EasyInsites, UK
Lindsay Veling, Cint, USA
What happens when different devices are used to access and complete online surveys is examined in this presentation. As smart phones and tablets become increasingly popular, respondents are attempting to participate in online surveys with their various devices, yet online surveys are not necessarily entirely compatible across these devices. When surveys do not work on these alternative devices, no doubt respondents are frustrated and either cannot complete these surveys or enter data that is of poor quality. Further, when respondents experience this frustration, they are less likely to participate the next time they are invited.
Navin Williams, MobileMeasure, China
Mobile technology was harnessed in this study to place the respondent in a real shopping environment to make choices of placing new virtual 3D beverage products in a real life environment in real time. The decisions and choices the users made were recorded on their mobiles and then analysed to map out a brand profile amongst the beverage set available for the new virtual mobile 3D beverage. Adding mobile to the research delivery mix not only improves efficiencies, it also helps put the respondent at the centre of the point of consumption/purchase.
Francesco D’ Orazio, Face, UK
Market Research approaches to mobile focus on production and upload of geo-located content on the go. Traditionally Mobile Market Research has mimicked what can be done on the web, with poorer interfaces and engagement. Beyond geo-located content, a key opportunity in mobile is life logging, the passive and active recording of a person’s online and offline daily life in a quantitative way. Sensors in the mobile handset can be used to capture communication, proximity, location, and activity data alongside the more established prompted inputs, a 360-degree approach becoming known as Reality Mining. The result is a depth of data on behaviors, interactions and states that can reveal patterns and insights that would be impossible to spot in an exclusively qualitative approach.
Closing keynote speaker
Gabe Zichermann, Author, Entrepreneur & Gamification Guru, Gamification Co., USA
Gamification doesn’t mean Xbox or Angry Birds. It means using game mechanics and features of game design to boost the effectiveness, friendliness and engagement of your research.

Join author and expert Gabe Zichermann for this fast-paced session as he shows how gamification is transforming consumer and employee engagement.
