We’re talking about the future of the field

But before we do that…

McClaran, ADV342, SM19
Let’s go over some methods we did not discuss in class yet.
Ethnography
Content analysis
Experiment

Ethnography
5
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
Form of human observational research – where you observe the behavior of your client in the real world.
Roots in anthropology and sociology
Note: there is also automated or machine observational research
EX: tracking cookies, loyalty cards, etc.
5
Why use ethnographies?
6
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
1. Can be more insightful than description
watching a person shopping vs. having them tell you how they shop
they may not be able to remember/realize they are doing certain things
2. People may not be able to verbalize their attitudes
EX: studying children toys
6
Why use ethnographies?
7
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
3. Self-report may not accurately reflect their true behaviors
Overestimate technology use
Overestimate exercise
Overestimate your ability (sorry)
7
Why use ethnographies?
8
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
““deep insight into the contradictory nature of much of human behavior: the focus is on what people really do versus what they say they do”
- Ipsos MOR
8
Types of ethnographies
9
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
Ethnographies can be
Natural vs. Artificial
Open vs. Disguised
Active vs. Passive
Structured vs. Unstructured
9
Characteristics of ethnographies
10
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
Four main characteristics:
Researcher goes to the data
Studies the topic from the populations perspective
Considerable amount of time in the field
Variety of data collection techniques
10
Example in ADPR
11
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
Procter & Gamble wanted to better understand consumer perceptions of Secret deodorant
Research objective:
In what way can Secret
deodorant be better
positioned to women
11
Example in ADPR
12
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
Method: Had women go shadow other women and observe their daily habits - “walk in her shoes”
Insights: noticed deodorant was not just in bathroom, but in car, gym bag, desk, etc. but stick is too bulky
12
Example in ADPR
13
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
Results:
7 million users engage on social media
217 million media impressions
7 beauty award wins
13
Content Analysis
14
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
Technique to analyzing communication artifacts, such as
Text
Pictures
Audio
Video
This can be done either qualitatively or quantitatively
14
Content Analysis
15
McClaran, ADV342, SM19
Why conduct a content analysis?
To understand what messages are currently out there
To see what people are talking about
To understand the culture/time/context
15
Content Analysis

User comments
Social media posts
Etc.
