Augmenting Brands
The document discusses a case study by Philip McNaughton on augmenting qualitative insights through social media data. It illustrates the limitations of traditional qualitative research methods and how using tools like Pulsar can help validate and enrich these insights on a larger scale. The approach combines quantitative social media data with qualitative insights to create a comprehensive understanding of consumer behavior without needing explicit survey questions.

- 5. A client cameto us with insights developed through qualitative research, and asked us to validate, sharpen and prioritize.
- 6. We first tooka traditional approach: a survey > participants respond to insights and tell us what they think
- 7. Great, but somelimiting factors… Artificial Evaluative responses Still limited sample size No depth
- 8. This time, wewanted to augment this data with something a little different
- 9. We wanted tosee whether the insights played out organically in the real world, not in the artificial world of the survey and the focus group
- 10. We set outto see how Social Media could augment and validate the learning on a mass scale

Editor's Notes
- #3 Thank you. This is a story about using Social Media in Research, and of course we have heard a lot about that over the last couple of days. Ricardo from Mastercard yesterday talked about the journey from Questioning to ListeningToday I am going to talk about how questioning and listening can work together.
- #4 Aspractioners of social media research, its sometimes easy to be seduced into thinking that it has all the answers. Of course, that is very far from the truth. My thinking is that social media research works best of all when it is used in synthesis with other data sources. Not just as an add-on, but in a more directly integrated way with other research data – qual and quant.
- #5 Lots of things that social media is good for. But we can do more….There’s a lot of talk in the industry about social media research being a meeting point for qualitative and quantitative research.And at face we have been exploring one way of working at that intersection.
- #6 RB were feeling pretty comfortable with these insights, but they had been developed in a small scale way, and they wanted to find a way of validating, sharpening and prioritising
- #7 So we took a 2 step approach to this. Firstly, a relatively traditional survey approach.
- #13 Of course, this is always the challenge with social media. It inverts the traditional research process of question and answer. The answers are there, but how to filter and question the data in the way which finds the answers you need. This was particularly magnified in this case because we were looking for something very specific.
- #14 Of course, social media is primarily about filtering and questioning a potentially endless data field in the right way. The first thing was to narrow down a potential data set that we could search in.Focus on change and disatisfaction with the home environment
- #15 But this still leaves us with a huge amount of content that we know is roughly in the right area. How do we go about questioning this data set to validate our 4 insights…
- #16 And it actually a very traditional MR method > coding open-ended data.
- #17 Ultimately, what we were shooting for…. !
- #18 It’s great to be able to do that. But of course we can do even more….
- #22 Final point is the most interesting here. And it applies to social media not just in insight validation, but across segmentaion, comms tracking. So if I was to leave you with one bigger though about the benefit and relevance of social media research it’s that, the fact that it offers us a real-time, truly dynamic insight field. We just need to be as good as we can be at learning how to question it!
