Dealing with the Chaos:1. FIND – your meaning to the world
2. DIG – into the data to know more
3. ADAPT – get on with it and learn

1. FIND (your meaning)Your brand means something, even
if your advertising doesn’t.

What Does Your Brand Mean to Your Customer?
Questions to Ask:
What is its cultural significance?
Does it represent any archetype or icon?
Why do your customers like it, love it, fear it, hate it, use it?
What does it say about them – in what context do they use it?
What is its “shared shorthand”?

First -- Go Broad
Explore the cultural archetypes and concepts related to a product category or larger industry. Create mood boards and word lists of what you find.
Then – Get Specific
Do a competitive audit of how others are using archetypes and cultural elements. Look for holes, gaps, and saturation points.

Americans under 45 spend more time online than with other media
Internet
Know How To Reach Your Audience
Europeans over 25 like TV more than the Web, those over 45 like both radio and TV more than the Web

Qualitative Research Quantitative ResearchGood at: • Context, human texture, semantics,
subjectivity• Definitive conclusions, clear measures,
objectivity
Typical set-up: • Often in person, observation and discussion-oriented, even with task completion
• Often remote, test plan structured around clear objective responses without ambiguity (yes/no, multiple choice, success/failure)
Provides: • The why, why not, where not, when not • The what, how much, when, where
Downfall: • Directionality can be skewed by sample size, personalities
• Can be looking at the wrong measures.
Sample Size • 8-12 provide directionality/patterns • 100+ (technically 30, but numbers normalize better above 100)
Examples • Ethnographic studies• One-on-one interviews• Lab-style usability tests• Focus groups• Card sorting (in person)
• Mouse-and-click-path tracking• Multivariate testing• Self-directed remote usability testing• Analytics + search log tracking• Surveys• Card sorting (remote)

before it puts you out of business.
