Overall, we had such a great time with them. All of them showed up early and were very open and interested. They stayed with us for the full 4 hours, covering competitor sites, in-store walk throughs and gave a lot of feedback on product. They were able to articulate the ‘why’ behind most of their feedback which is so helpful when we can’t get this in the office!
Ethnographic OBB: communications app users, Brazil
The client brief
Our client wanted to understand how WhatsApp and Facebook users in Brazil perceive the brands they are communicating with on both platforms. An example of this might be on WhatsApp, where a user might see a notification directing them to use the app in a certain way and assume the WhatsApp brand is reaching out to them to take action.
FieldworkHub deliver
FieldworkHub was asked to find around 80 WhatsApp and Facebook users to participate in an online bulletin board over the course of two weeks. With the assistance of our partners, we validated respondents’ social media usage and Facebook profiles so that our client could be sure of gaining relevant insights from respondents. Our services also included providing a Portuguese speaking moderator to engage with and encourage respondents to complete tasks given.
You and your team did an EXCELLENT job! This was not an easy recruit and you met all the quotas, found participants who were fully qualified (and verified), and everything went super smoothly on the interview days. I appreciated how organized and methodical you were throughout this process, and how responsive and detailed your communications were.
