The University of Oxford and On The Edge Conservation wanted to hold two focus group discussions with members of the public, including those with greater levels of knowledge about endangered species. The aim of the research was to discuss general environmental issues and the ways in which the media’s portrayal of certain endangered species, such as the aye-aye, kakapo and pangolin, had an impact on the feelings evoked when viewing an advert.
FieldworkHub arranged two 90-minute face-to-face focus groups in Oxford. This involved recruiting 16 respondents in less than a week.
I was pleased to work with FieldworkHub to engage with small businesses. The team were friendly and engaging and they added value by make practical suggestions on how we could best capture the information we required in the fairest and most objective way possible. The team had to work to very tight timescales and they delivered. Their work contributed to the decisions and actions taken by us subsequently.
