Going Forward
News International, RBS, Which? and Walker Media have all benefited from being involved at the beginning of this study. They now have video footage of 150 respondents answering their bespoke questions. They will use the video clips and insights in presentations, for training and other general research purposes. As this video study was syndicated the costs involved were far less than when commissioning a tailormade project.
We are planning to repeat this video survey in August and if you’d like to be involved please fill in this form.
We'd also welcome feedback on running these types of video surveys among specific target groups and in other countries. Please let us know what might be of interest to you.
