This is what happens when participants are encouraged to talk to each other, and to researchers, and to you, over and over again. Here, research focuses far more intensely on showing and sharing.
Socialised panels
This is an online research panel boosted by the addition of features encouraging social interaction between the participants, such as debate forums and fun polls.
Online qualitative research
Activities hosted in an online environment, shared by groups of around 20 people. These support structured discussions, task sharing and the capture of important moments and experiences via photo and video uploads and journal entries.
Full online communities
Our bespoke online environments, with the emphasis on generating a dynamic community. These offer all the features associated with successful online communities and social networks, combined with back office functions that allow us to gather and analyse content, initiate and conduct specific research and orchestrate key activities. Our communities are carefully recruited and cultivated and only then become the home for discussion, knowledge sharing, spot polls, blogging and micro-blogging.
Online quantitative gadgets
Our range of tools which allow our participants to interact with each other online, but which generate granular, quantitative data (rather than, say, text transcripts of discussions). This creates a middle ground between traditional surveys and labour-intensive deep qualitative work.
