While the ideal marketing research study drives change, only half of research studies succeed at that goal. Similar to guerilla marketing, the solutions often lie in unconventional and creative ways of engaging the audience, obtaining a maximum impact at a low cost. The current best in class is to approach the delivery of results as a service with multiple touchpoints in time, adding formats like interactive workshops and consulting. This paper explores making research more impactful by making it experiential. Making insights memorable and increasing consumer empathy are key step stones to reach that goal.

Impact is the name of the game in market research. There are two critical success factors to activate an organisation with the outcome of research: a co-creative platform where employees can interact with the insights and a research method that generates immersive data to feed in this platform. Dannon has set up Consumer Activation Studio, a cross-department collaboration platform where employees are inspired to interact with the research results and turn shopper insights into concrete ideas, stronger brands and future-proof business concepts. Feeding this platform is the Healthy Minded People community, a tribe of almost 100 shoppers across seven retailers in the US taking part in mobile ethnography, shopper safaris and ideation challenges.
