Strategic Research • Strategic research
– Information gathering process that enhances the design at a creative strategy level
– Covers the issues that lead to the creation of advertising
• Begins with secondary research
–Exploration of all available published information
–May lead to primary research, customized research conducted for the first time
• End users of secondary and primary research
–Writers, art directors, and producers
–Media planners and buyers

Primary Research
• “Primary” research suppliers
Firms that specialize in interviewing, observing, recording, and analyzing the behavior of those who purchase or influence the purchase of a good or service
– Well-known primary research suppliers• A.C. Nielsen• Simmons Market Research Bureau
(SMRB)• Mediamark Research, Inc. (MRI)

Research Methods for Primary Consumer Research
• Focus group research– getting insights on motivation and buying behaviors
• In-depth Interview – one-to-one interview, qualitative method, open-ended
questions to generate consumer’s own answers.
• Survey research– Use structured questionnaire to ask large numbers of
people the same questions– Phone survey, mail-in survey, mall intercept.
• Direct Observation research– Placing researchers in natural settings to record the
behavior of consumers

Research Methods for Primary Consumer Research
• Content analysis– Systematic analysis and evaluation of different
messages and appeals
• Ethnographic Research– Involves the researcher in living the lives of the
people being studied– Has the advantage of or revealing what people
actually do, not what they say they do
• Diaries– Consumers record their activities– They tell media planners what programs and
ads the consumers watched

Depending on the nature of data generated
Qualitative Research:
-- Provides insight into the underlying reasons for how consumers behave and why. -- Observation, Ethnographic Studies,
in-depth interviews, and case studies
Quantitative Research:
-- delivers numerical data based on large sample sizes and random sampling.
-- Surveys

Choosing a research method
• Validity– The research actually measures what it says
it measures.
• Reliability– Researchers can run the same test again and
get the same answer.

Uses for Research (p. 163)
1. Market information2. Consumer insight research3. Media research4. Message development research
Concept testing– Used in the development of the message
strategy to evaluate the relative power of various creative ideas
