A leading US sportswear retailer with a presence in several European markets wanted to hold a series of discussions with small groups of style-conscious teenagers who were familiar with their stores. A key requirement of the methodology was to find friendship groups, i.e. groups of teenagers who knew each other but were not members of the same family. We recruited participants in several EU markets to a very tight timeline, including groups of 12-14 year olds and 15-16 year olds in Barcelona, Milan and Paris.
