Get to know Mobile Ethnography

Ethnography means observing consumers in a natural environment, allowing you to gain understanding of their needs, behavior, values and experiences.

With Mobile Ethnography, consumers use their smartphone to document their perspective of things, based on tasks you give them in an app.

Mobile Ethnography is the most effective way to collect consumer insights from all steps of a customer journey. It is also used for UX research, in-home usage tests, consumer diaries and for pre-tasks prior to focus groups.

The top 5 advantages are:

• You get raw, in-the-moment needs, actions, pains and drivers, not only what consumers remember afterwards in an interview
• You will catch things you did not think of asking, since consumers report their perspective in their own words
• You get the visuals through photos from the consumers, which adds a lot of understanding
• You can scale the research cost- and time-effectively, since you don’t spend time interviewing or observing
• All the visual material makes a more engaging report, and inspiration in workshops and a creative process

1. Define tasks and send to pre-recruited consumers
2. Watch consumer uploads in real time
3. Analyze and make the report

Mobile Ethnography is a cost- and time-efficient methodology. At the same time you gain truly valuable insights not possible to collect in other ways.

From only a couple of days up to 5 weeks depending on the need of insight.
