Discussion Panel: Mobile Research - Have we unleashed its potential?

We have been discussing the use of technology in research for many years and as we know with internet research it is not about productivity and cost saving – but about better tools to accessing our consumers in environments that make them comfortable. Mobile technology is increasingly becoming a tool that consumers use to access, share or even collaboratively create information. As researchers we are tasked with finding, filtering and making sense of data and information.

  • What happens when these two worlds of research and mobile technology collide? How can we make sure that the output is greater than the sum of its parts? How do we filter and give meaning to all this?
  • What are the best practices in other industries that market research could learn from? What are the Next Practices in mobile research?
  • Is Asia different from the rest of the world in the use of mobile? How does this impact the way we should think about using it in research?

This session features two presentations and an open discussion with different stakeholders in the conversation around mobile technology and research. Come join and have your voice heard as well!

Becoming Strategic Partners

If you look into the websites and marketing materials for nearly any research agency you will see that they claim to be ‘Strategic Partners' with their clients - is it possible that all of them are truly forming meaningful partnerships with their clients? There is no doubt that this is an aspiration for many companies, but how often does it really happen?

  • What does a strategic partnership look like? How is it different from the partnerships clients have with ad agencies, management consultants, and other service providers?
  • Is strategic partnership with research agencies something that clients truly want - and are willing to pay for?
  • What sort of company makes a better strategic partner - a global giant or a small and flexible boutique? And how does industry consolidation affect this?
This session features three case studies followed by an open discussion as well as the introduction of two partnership models followed by an interactive debate. With participation from clients, global companies, and boutiques we expect a very lively discussion!

Business Asia
Talk to six multinationals, and you'll get six different definitions of Asia. There is a constant struggle to come to terms with this nebulous entity. Business strategies intended to crack Asia, to try and master her, are in a constant state of flux. To shed light on the complexities facing marketers as they try and tackle Asia, this session features three thought provoking papers to give us new perspectives on this magical, mythical region. First we will explore the organisational and structural differences across companies to see how they are grappling with this very fluid multi-market. Next we will take a very granular view of a rich database that will help advertisers make their ads work more efficiently, and finally, we will debunk a few myths about the rural hardships in emerging India.
