THE

R.E.B.E.L.

MANIFESTO


RESULTS BEAT THE

PROCESS

R.E.B.E.L.

RULE #1


Clients are being stubborn and want to keep

using a long list of questions that are not

contributing to the objective at all. This

leads to participant frustration and does

not add any value to the research.

ANONYMOUS


QUICK //NOT DIRTY

CHEAPER //NOT ‘CHEAP’

ENGAGED //NOT ‘SLIDES’


I read a report that has

more than 20 pages, has text all

over the place and graphs that

are really ugly, for instance a

graph with only one 100% bar…

ANONYMOUS

100%


WE ARE

AGILE AGENTS

RESEARCHER’S ROLE


EXPERT

COLLABORATIONS

R.E.B.E.L.

RULE #2


Respondents are approached as a

'resource' rather than an individual.

I hate it when people criticise their

view of the world, disrespect them

for not having understood a product/

message/ campaign the way the

company intended it.

ANONYMOUS


EMPOWER

THE

CONSUMER


Agencies don't spend time to get to

know your problem, think you are

a wallet, a lead, and

not a partner...and this happens

most of the time...so I grow to

hate agencies....

ANONYMOUS


WE ARE

FRIENDS &

FRENEMIES

RESEARCHER’S ROLE


BE BRAVE

R.E.B.E.L.

RULE #3


Clients tell me they want something

different and new, but when it

comes to deciding and making that

change, they just stick with the old

and tried methods! Grrrrr...

ANONYMOUS


DARE

TO GO

70/20/10


DARE

TO BE

OPEN


I want to join my clients’ team so

that they are willing to pay for the

advise I give them. I want to be

more like a consultant who also has

research skills, rather than a

researcher who is appreciated for

vision & knowledge of customer

experience.

ANONYMOUS


WE ARE

PARTNERS

IN CRIME

RESEARCHER’S ROLE


EFFECTIVE SELLING

R.E.B.E.L.

RULE #4


Our board doesn't understand the

true importance of research and of

really listening to your customers.

ANONYMOUS


SELL

CHANGE //NOT RESULTS


No-one likes to admit that

we bullshit all the time. A lot of

what we tell people is extremely

'filtered', exaggerated. It's an

inevitable part of human

interpretation, but sometimes

it's on purpose to get a job done or

get a message across.

ANONYMOUS


WE ARE

ACTION

HEROES

RESEARCHER’S ROLE


LOL!

MAKE IT FUN

R.E.B.E.L.

RULE #5


I feel ashamed when I'm filling in

questionnaires nowadays that are

obviously way too long

and very dull. But then I realize how

many of that same questionnaires I

have made in my career...Sorry!
