Ethnographic Research
Ethnographic research allows us to observe consumer behaviours and unarticulated needs in real-world contexts.
What We Do
We embed researchers into target audiences' environments to uncover insights through first-hand immersion and observation.
This provides an authentic view of consumer lives, relationships, rituals, needs and pain points. Key techniques include in-home ethnographies, shop-alongs, mobile video diaries, and virtual ethnographies using webcams or smartphones.
Ethnographic approaches may explore category behaviours, product concept reaction, retail shopping, channel usage and more. The real-world behaviours and tensions revealed spur innovation opportunities and strategies grounded in actual consumer realities versus claimed behaviours.
