Introduction To The Topic

To deliver actionable business insight, marketing researchers are more frequently recommending new, online techniques in their research designs. Ramius examines the trends, reasons and practicalities of conducting marketing research using online communities in this AMA-Ramius webinar.

Leonard Murphy of GreenBook Blog and BrandScan 360 will open the webcast with a brief context-setting discussion using results from the recentGreenBook Research Industry Trends Report and highlights from the AMA Research and Strategy Summit.

Adriana Waterston and Stephanie Wong of Horowitz Associates will then discuss how they marry traditional quantitative methodologies and in-depth qualitative methodologies with online communities. Using client cases, they will discuss:

  • how to generate rich, robust and continuous insights from an online community;
  • how to uncover and provide context to some counter-intuitive findings;
  • best practices in setting-up, managing and budgeting for studies that include an online research community.
