HAVE YOU EVER NEEDED TO…
Measure Attitudes Before & After a Campaign?

HAVE YOU EVER NEEDED TO…
Identify the Most Captivating News Hook?

HAVE YOU EVER NEEDED TO…
Create Branded Content that Engages Audiences
(and Measure its Effectiveness)

HAVE YOU EVER NEEDED TO…
Collect Consumer Data that Drives Strategy or Stimulates Interest in a Story

IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES…
ADD GAMIFIED SURVEYS TO YOUR PR TOOLKIT
![Page 7: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
BUT WHAT’S A GAMIFIED SURVEY?
![Page 8: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A GAMIFIED SURVEY IS…
½ PUBLIC OPINION SURVEY
½ INTERNET PERSONALITY QUIZ
![Page 9: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WHERE THE CONCEPT CAME FROM…
Traditional Polling is Dead
IT’S TIME TO REINVENT POLLINGSource: Pew 2012 regarding telephone surveys
![Page 10: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
TO REINVENT POLLING…
We Looked to Today’s Top Media Trends:
• Engaging Branded Content
• Data & Measurement
• Sharing with Friends
• Social Gaming
![Page 11: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
WE LOOKED TO INTERNET QUIZZES…
Willingly, without concern, & the feeling of being burdened, we tell internet quizzes a lot about us…
• How often we drink alcohol
• Relationship status
• Politicians we admire
• What we'd do on a rainy day
• Music preferences, vacation dreams, turnoffs, athletic skills
• How we’d react if punched in the face at a bar for no reason
![Page 12: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AND WE WONDERED…
Could an offshoot of internet quizzes
provide a reliable and lower-cost
alternative to traditional surveys?
![Page 13: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
INTERNET QUIZZES VS. SURVEYS
Experience of taking traditional surveys (boooring!) differs from playful internet quizzes
• Survey respondents aware answers are collected to inform outside parties
• Quiz takers see participation as voluntary and intrinsically enjoyable
![Page 14: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
GAMIFICATION MAKES QUIZZES FUN
Gamification is "the concept of applying game
mechanics and game design techniques to engage
and motivate people to achieve their goals.”
Examples of Gamification driving engagement: • Frequent Flier programs• Nike+ apps that track and share user fitness goals• Wide applications in education • Hybrid vehicles nudging drivers toward a driving style with
high fuel efficiency
![Page 15: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
GAME DYNAMICS FOUND IN QUIZZES
• Achievement (What’s the Goal?)
• Self-Expression / Storytelling
• Social Competition, Pride & Envy
• Escapism
– Imaginative Topics
– Bold Imagery
![Page 16: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A BIG DIFFERENCE:
Quizzes have an INSTANT OUTPUT: • Tell you something about yourself
• Enable you to share that insight with friends
Doing so increases likelihood of others taking the quiz
![Page 17: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
UNTESTED GROUND
There’s little doubt that potential exists for using internet quizzes for purposes beyond “fun”
…but until we began field tests, these potentials were largely hypothetical.
![Page 18: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CLICK BAIT
To date, BuzzFeed, PlayBuzz, etc. do not sell quiz result data or make it available to marketers
Quizzes are click bait to increase website traffic or social conversation about products/brands
![Page 19: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
FOR EXAMPLE...
"Which Sound of Music
Character Are You?” quiz
posted before "The Sound of
Music” show opening
= 480K visitors + 300K
Facebook likes & shares
HBO’s "How Would You Die in
Game of Thrones” Buzzfeed
quiz = 1M+ visitors
“What Country in the World
Best Fits Your Personality?” =
7.3 million unique views & 2.3
million Facebook shares
Quizzes lead in social shares
![Page 20: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BUT HOW ACCURATE IS THE DATA?
Quizzes are useful tools in social media/marketing, but…
How does data from fun quizzes compare to
data from more traditional survey methods?
What can we learn from online quizzes to help
develop a different, innovative model for reliable
survey research?
![Page 21: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
THE GAMIFIED SURVEY
Our methodology draws on best of traditional survey
research and internet personality quizzes:
“Gamified" survey compels participants with
interesting, instant outputs
AND maintains the ability to collect kinds of
data needed for more serious research
![Page 22: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TESTING THE THEORY
As the following results will demonstrate, “Gamified Surveys”
are equally if not more successful platforms for gathering data,
demographic info included.
Conducted 3 simultaneous surveys with same questions:
1. Traditional survey offering $100 gift card as incentive
2. Fun-style personality quiz with results shareable via social
3. Fun-style personality quiz with identical question wording
to traditional survey with results shareable via social
![Page 23: PR Genome Series: Gamification of Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55ce42bdbb61eb8b2a8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
METHODOLOGY
First, we compared data from two Gamified surveys
Then, we compared gamified results to traditional results

THIS REALLY WORKS!
• People will share accurate personal information more
easily through internet quizzes than traditional surveys
• “Gamified Surveys” produce comparably useful data,
more efficiently & cost-effectively than traditional surveys
• Essential to the performance of gamified surveys are:– Ensuring participation by a balanced sample which can be achieved in
many different ways (oversampling, quota sampling, etc) – The development of dedicated software that maximizes sharability,
user-friendliness, and back-room data collection
