Our journey exploring the world of diversity and inclusion inside and outside the market research walls starts with our conversation with Pepper Miller, author, market researcher, and Black-American subject matter expert. This candid conversation was very thought-provoking; we're sure you'll agree. Are you ready to dig in?

We're kicking off a series of interviews that talk about diversity and inclusion from the perspective of underrepresented groups. We hope you'll join us as we share the fun and courageous conversations we've had (and continue having) around this topic. 

Ethnography: it's way, WAY more than just following someone around while they shop. Learn what it is, what to consider when performing an ethnography, and how to be sure your ethnography is inclusive!

A group of crows is a murder. A group of fish? A school. But what do you call a group of research methodologies? 

We're kicking off our 2020-2021 season with a live brainstorm of research methodologies in various groupings - advanced modeling, behavioral research, retail, ethnographies, and more! This kicks off a new year of exploring the world of insights, where we'll dive into each group of research types. For now, enjoy hearing us list off 27 different methodologies, some of which have sub-types! The list is FAR from conclusive, so send us methodologies we missed!
