Social Media Research
Social media has turned the traditional approach to engaging and communicating with consumers on its head. Researchers must understand how to interpret the complex relationship between consumers’ online and offline identities and what this means for findings generated using social media techniques.
Social Media Research examined how research professionals can use social media to best capture customer insights, engage with customers positively and improve accuracy of social media research findings. Key contributions included O2, YouTube, Ipsos Media CT, FreshNetworks and internet critic Andrew Keen.
