Name: Jason Dunstone
Company: Square Holes
Title: Social media … Beyond engagement
|
Biography:
Jason loves coffee, riding his bike and Coopers Sparkling Ale. He is passionate about doing awesome research to support great branding, advertising and digital. Bored with traditional research he founded Square Holes at the end of 2004. Jason was frustrated with the less than sexy reputation of market researchers. He loved market research, but was hardly surprised at its bad rep, given the general lack of creativity and depth. His formative years in market research had been spent at TNS. From here he worked from graduate to beyond and was an active industry contributor.
|
Synopsis:
Social media is here to stay. The buzz is about ‘engagement’ and gaining a more intimate connection with consumers. It is about keeping it real and leveraging relationships to build virtual word-of-mouth. How very nice. Jason will discuss using social data [e.g. from Facebook] beyond engagement and sentiment towards a research data set for understanding consumers. At a time when some believe that any monkey can do a survey and access to consumer data is more prevalent than ever, is the world of market research evolving?

Synopsis:
In this presentation you will get to know everything about the success factors for ‘structural collaboration’ with consumers. When we talk about structural collaboration we mean the integration of the voice of the customer in all decision-making flows of your company. In most companies, customers are only allowed to give feedback at the very end of a decision making flow through traditional market research. This keynote gives insights into how to involve the customer in every single phase of the decision making flow on an ongoing basis including:
- An inspirational view on structural collaboration between your company and the market, based on interviews with senior executives of (global) brands from different industries.
- Main reasons why your company should be serious about structural collaboration with customers.
- A clear overview of what will be key, in order to succeed with structural collaboration.
- An overview of some organizational measures your company will need to take when moving from one-off co-creation to structural collaboration.
‘Market Research Online Communities’ (MROCs) are key in a company’s toolbox in order to reach ‘structural collaboration’. In the workshop we will elaborate on what’s next for MROCs in terms of new tools and new possibilities. We will pay special attention to how to really engage with consumers, how to report results in an impactful way and how to embed this voice of the customer within all departments of the organization. In other words, how to give consumers a seat on the board of your company. We will also argue that there are marketing leverage effects to running consumer communities, as will be illustrated by a multitude of client cases.

Synopsis:
The presentation will explore the process of deriving market insights from unstructured social media data. It will describe the ‘journey’ social data take – from data collection to data enrichment to analysis – with a particular focus on enrichment, i.e. the types of classifications that can be applied to social media messages. We will discuss both the surface-level information and metadata that present themselves for analysis in social data, and then demonstrate the importance of accurately enriching data with sentiment, emotion, topic, venue, demographic and other types of classification. The key element here is enriching data specifically to answer the client’s unique business questions or problem. Finally we will elaborate on which approaches – human- or machine-based – are best suited for data enrichment.
