Presentation Outlines

  • Payal Shah & Sabrina Schöder, Happy Thinking People, India,
    Ocular Truth: The Impact of Visuals
    With the research landscape transforming into immersive engagement territories, narratives are the new paradigm shift. As much as research involves data, the way we deliver consumer stories that drive business strategy is ultimately defined by our decision to weave them. This webinar will focus on the intricacies of how we can visually communicate these stories without diluting the essence of context, introducing methodologies that evoke graphic representations and conjure results to effectively drive the point.
  • Nirupama Kaushik & Asha Ganesan Sen, BRANDSCAPES WORLDWIDE,
    Personally speaking
    “Visualisation and storytelling have almost become clichés today and are built on the accurate premise that a story told visually is priceless.
    What is the future though? We believe that the next big shift in storytelling is who the story is for. Given the rising trend of personalisation in all spheres of life, the future of storytelling is the point of view of the person listening in, not telling it.
    Audiences are comprised of individuals who come to the presentation with differing perspectives and therefore are looking to make individually relevant connects and decisions.
    And that is where story telling needs to go – allowing individuals in the audience to make their personal connections and thereby customising the story to their world. One presentation, customised personal vision, unique storytelling.”
  • Shobha Prasad, Drshti, India,
    Breaking News! What Qualitative Research can learn from the News Media
    The news media has adapted extremely well to evolving technology to become even more engaging and relevant in peoples’ lives. What can we learn from this to increase our impact and relevance as qualitative researchers?
  • Phoebe Trimmingham & Matilda Andersson, Crowd DNA,
    How to edit insights: the power of leaving stuff out
    Communicating impactful and culturally-charged insight bottles down to one thing: clarity. Clarity of the message, clarity of the copy and clarity of the story. As with many things, however, the tendency to over-complicate and over-include is always tempting – especially when the research is so damn interesting. So how do you use the editing process to create clear content with lasting impact? In this session we’ll provide the tools and tips needed to edit insights. We’ll ask: how can we learn to let go and self-critique? And how can we channel our inner editor to create truly engaging content? Join us in an ode to clarity as we reveal the power of leaving stuff out.
  • Dr Heidi Hasbrouck, Kantar Public,
    Visualising voices, representing self.
    We used creative visual techniques of animating words/text, and photostories to sit over the voices of our research participants who had experienced homelessness. The aim of the research was to understand how people who have experienced homelessness describe themselves. We thought it important to let them speak for themselves and to choose to visualise their spaces and worlds through their own photos. We omitted any faces of participants to allow a anonymity and to move beyond visual stereotypes of individuals.

  • Hannah Rogers, Blue Yonder Research,
    Storyboarding techniques for visual storytelling
    Clients are under immense pressure to deliver shorter, sharper, clearer stories to their key stakeholders; the use of video in storytelling is now expected – you must be increasingly creative to add impact.  At Blue Yonder we use multiple HD cameras to capture robust evidence and employ film-making storyboarding techniques to deliver bespoke, highly compelling, dynamic, 2-minute film clips; using human editors rather than automated platforms ensures we deliver the maximum amount of impact. This has changed the game in the holistic presentation of research, through capturing the imaginations of senior stakeholders and delivering absolute buy in through powerful storytelling and visualization, all accessible to them at the touch of a button.

  • Ray Poynter, NewMR
    What does storytelling really mean in a market research presentation?
    Market researchers are often told they need to be storytellers, they are told it by their bosses, they are told it by their clients, and they are told it at conferences. But the most frequent question I am asked is ‘Ray, what is storytelling? How do I do storytelling when I presenting the results of a three-item concept test?’ In this webinar I will show what we mean by storytelling, how to focus on narrative flow, and provide some examples and tips.
