Our client asked us to recruit a variety of smartphone users in Japan to understand how they use ‘focus mode’ features on their phone. Focus mode features including do not disturb mode, work mode, sleep mode etc. Respondents were asked to take part in a 7-day online bulletin board (OBB) which asked them to describe how they use these different features and say if it helped their productivity throughout the day.
We were asked to recruit mostly iOS (iPhone) users and to include a number of full-time students in the sample. Participants needed to be 18+ years old, with an average daily screen time of 4 hours + on their smartphone. We successfully recruited 12 participants with a mix of gender and household status, and a mix of students and people working in different professions.

FieldworkHub has been a great research partner to me and my team. Caroline and Cornelius were incredibly proactive, helping us anticipate any issues that might come up and plan for how to handle them. Even though it did turn out to be a challenging project, things went smoothly because we were one step ahead. The team went above and beyond to help ensure our goals were met.
FieldworkHub have been absolutely amazing in supporting our niche and high velocity research needs. Caroline and the team have provided us with consistently high standards of recruitment, project management and transport support. They are very adaptable and accommodating, able to flex with our unique needs and agile ways of working. They are my go-to research partner for all of these reasons.
