PepsiCo wanted to (re)connect the Ruffles brand with Turkish youngsters. For six weeks a market research online community (MROC) was the central hub in which a dialogue took place between Gen Y, the Ruffles brand team and the advertising agency. In three sequential stages we moved from generating insights over developing new product concepts to pre-testing activation platforms and campaigns. In order to connect all stakeholders with the target group, we created multiple touch points with the consumer world and the research results included a consumer news website, live chat sessions with members, creative brainstorm sessions and offline consumer safaris in Istanbul. This presentation gives insights into the power of triangulation in qual research and creating impact with research.
A picture shows at a glance what it takes a dozen pages of a book to expound. Working with pictures within market research presents its own challenges and opportunities. Experience the power of images in our research art exhibition. The exhibition will explain how visual analysis of social media data lead to a digital segmentation that forms the base of a digital strategy on Pinterest. Moreover, it will demonstrate that pictures are also a great means to break down communication barriers between consumers and marketers.

Joeri Van den Bergh, Author of How Cool Brands Stay Hot. Branding to Generation Y (bestselling book on youth marketing together with MTV's global VP Mattias Behrer, translated in Russian, Polish & Czech) and Managing Partner, InSites Consulting, Belgium.
Generation Y (aged 15-30) is the most marketing savvy generation ever. On a global scale, this new consumer cohort is much larger than the previous generation X and their impact on society will soon surpass the Babyboomer's largely documented influence. But what drives this fickle generation and how can global brands really connect with youth worldwide? This paper highlights the key dimensions behind cool brands derived from a research community connecting urban youth in 15 different cities around the globe.
The question 'who am I?' is especially pertinent during adolescence. MTV Networks wants to understand identity construction among youngsters aged between 13-17 in a changing media landscape. The rise of social networks and other new internet applications supports online social interactions and conversations. Youngsters, especially pre-adults, are increasingly living their lives in a virtual context. Hence, the question - to what extent is the online identity of youngsters similar to their offline identity? How do they experiment with their identity and what role do brands and products have in the expression of their identities?
