Ethnography

Cimigo believe that ethnographic immersions provide the most insightful qualitative insights into consumer lives, tensions and in depth use of products and services. You may attend in person or via a live feed with simultaneous translation. The combination of observation and subsequent in-depth probing is all powerful. To this end Cimigo use ethnography in TrendTours and innovation programmes.

In-depth interviews

In-depth interviews are often an integral part of market exploration, business intelligence and innovation programmes. One on one moderated interviews are used to unearth trends, points of delight and friction, consumer jobs to be done, needs and gaps being underserved, motivations and barriers. All with an intent to find opportunities for brands to leverage.

Focus group discussions

Focus groups are an efficient way to undergo initial market exploration in order to understand consumer behaviour and attitudes and to evaluate and iterate concept and communication ideas. They are one of tool in a box full of qualitative tools.

Insights are typically far better unveiled through ethnographic observation over and above listening to consumers rationalise their behaviour when amongst a peer group.

Cimigo have multiple focus group facilities on-site with viewing facilities, equipped with high-quality recording and streaming. Remote video group discussions or interviews powered by Zoom with both local language and simultaneous translation.
