Data is the cornerstone of our profession. Engaging people to share their data with us, whether opinion or observational data, is dependent on engaging with them in relevant ways. And relevancy requires us to understand their device, media, and communication trends. In this presentation, we will walk you through the most important consumer trends, the data those trends yield, and how that data is being actioned in market research. What's the latest on mobile, wearables, and PC use? How are consumers using email and messaging? What does today's media diet look like in terms of television, radio, and digital content consumption? Where are people going online? What types of data are people willing to share, and what worries them? What new types of data and data sets are being used? And how do you know that all of this data is representative? We will explore all of this, and wrap up with a few examples that will inspire you.
While the use of automation for text and data analysis, charting, or sampling continues to grow, not everyone is convinced. We will explore how market research needs to create situations where automation leads to a change in the way research is done.
With every quantitative market research study, data quality is critical. Researchers can now be confident that their quality checks are effective, with the validation of different steps that allow the identification and elimination of dishonest/inattentive participants in online surveys. In this workshop, Research Now and FactWorks will present the results of their maximum difference scaling approach in a multi-country comparison, giving practical recommendations on how you can use quality checks to eliminate participants and answers that may distort the integrity of your results.
Key findings from new research that provides insights on the practical application of gamification techniques, particularly in APAC, are highlighted in this paper. The authors explore how differing cultural tendencies might affect someone's willingness to abide by and play by the rules. The more we understand how the effects of society's culture and values relate to behavior, the more successful we will be in adapting gamification techniques at a local level and thereby unlock its promise of improving participant engagement and providing richer data.

Strategies on how to best balance expanding survey length with the need for concise, relevant and engaging surveys is explored in this paper. Innovative ways to shorten survey length without compromising the amount of business decisions that can be unearthed and accurately researched from online surveys are reviewed. The overall goal is to explore how adapting survey research improves rather than complicates the lives of both researchers and research participants. If we are not able to shorten our surveys, then survey modularisation is certainly a proven approach that can be adopted to deliver a complete, representative data set. It will also achieve accuracy and data consistency both confidently and efficiently at scale.
