#55 - A Clientside Evaluation of AI in Market Research

08/14/24 • 28 min

AI is pushing the boundaries of market research. From augmenting or modelling quantitative studies with synthetic data to simplifying fieldwork and conducting complex qualitative analysis - nearly every aspect of the industry has been touched by the technological revolution. But how are clientside research teams adapting to this shift? We speak to Billy Budd from Coventry Building Society to find out.

In this jam-packed episode, we discuss the various ways that clientside researchers are evaluating the plethora of AI tools on the market, what teams look for and how such tools are transforming work. We deep dive into examples from Billy's own experience, plus consider the impact on the wider business and direct stakeholders alike.

#54 - Marketing Communications for Research and Insight

The insight industry is awash with methods and techniques for data collection and analysis. But as an organisational function, we still pay too little attention to the marketing and communication of the work that we do. Although many endeavour to become better storytellers, it's apparent that much value is still locked behind debriefs and powerpoint decks.

So how do we unlock that value? In this MRX Lab episode, we speak with Emily James, Content Manager at FlexMR, about how to communicate and market data within an organisation. How to turn the techniques we use to understand and influence consumers to internal audiences, creating engaging narratives and deliverables that are memorable and long-lasting.

#56 - Building a Culture of Customer Curiosity

What does it mean to be curious about customers? In this episode of the MRX Lab, we speak to Charlotte Vicary about the impact of building a sustainable long-term culture within your business, in which teams aren't just close to customers, they're intrinsically interested in their everyday lives. Over the course of 20 minutes, we cover the tools and techniques that The Customer Closeness Company have developed to stimulate interest and drive better decisions. We also touch on the challenges facing business today - in a world where customers have high expectations and great experiences aren't stand out memories, but the standard. We explore how a culture of curiosity can help meet those expectations and give voice to customers in a sea of competing priorities. --- Presented by: Chris Martin, CMO @ FlexMR Featuring: Charlotte Vicary, Founding Director @ The Customer Closeness Company For more info on FlexMR, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.flexmr.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
