| 09.00 - 17.00 | Ethnography and Observational Research (2 Days) – Day 1 Applying cultural analysis tools in consumer research In a world where the consumer voice can be heard from all corners of the globe how do you understand who the consumer is and what his wants and needs are? Ethnography and observational research responds to these challenges by observing consumers in their natural environments and then turning these consumer encounters into ideas that transform brands and product categories. Understand the challenges faced in designing and implementing ‘real world’ research, including the methodological tools needed, and the practicalities faced. Please note:You will need to register and attend both days of this workshop. This workshop has an extensive pre-workshop task which will take a few days to complete. Please register early so that you have enough time to complete it.
