EDITORIAL AND ADVERTISING SCHEDULE

JANUARY/FEBRUARY WORLD cUp FEVER!

It can’t have escaped your notice that the 2014 FIFA World cup is being held in Brazil. more than 715 million people from 204 countries watched this mega event in 2012 and it attracts huge sums in sponsorship. How effective is sponsorship and how can we measure its short and long-term ROI? Top footballers have the drawing power of pop stars – what are the social media effects of idols and what can sport teach us about brand building?

APRIL/MAY DEALING WITH DIVERSITY

In a globalized world you might think that societies, consumers and respondents are becoming more homogenous, but culture, access to technology, demographic changes, the path to markets – are as different today as they have been for centuries. How does diversity affect branding and advertising? Does mobile access level the playing field and to what extent should we think global versus local? How has the recession impacted spending across all regions and age groups and what are the next steps for segmentation and demographics?

JUNE/JULYpREDIcTING THE FUTURE

Research is often asked (and sometime criticised for not) predicting the future. Gazing into a glass ball and forecasting the future does not always sit comfortably with the industry but does measuring, modeling and predicting the future have more potential in a big data world? Is real time prediction using big data or predictive tracking of big data a reality? Does all this information lead to better insights and what does this mean for the role of research?

Growth in mobile penetration continues apace and many of the 40% of the world’s population who are now online, are connected via their mobile device. Asia pacific has some of the fastest mobile broadband speeds whilst mobile broadband penetration is now 11% in Africa. As we increasingly use our mobiles to shop, gather news and information and connect with others, huge opportunities are opening up for high-speed quantitative and qualitative mobile research with new tools and technologies now at our disposal. How does this impact our research design and what are the latest innovations?

NOVEMBER/DECEMBERWHAT VERSUS WHY

“correlation is enough - causality is no longer necessary.”….”The end of privacy” - some argue that with the amount of data streaming through, knowing “what” people do is enough, knowing “why” is superfluous and takes too long. Others question if correlation can really be used for insight generation and brand positioning. How does this affect qualitative research – a discipline embedded in the “why.” Does big data allow quant and qual to merge, what new techniques will it generate and can mobile research help us to understand the “quantified self”?

Reserving paid for content provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate in more detail and in a timely way, your company’s thought leadership in a specific area, such as a new research technology, research methodology or geographical focus.

We are therefore offering two-page (1000 words) sponsored content advertorials that will also include your company’s logo and contact details. The editor of the issue will provide guidance on the planned content of the relevant issue and advice on what might best complement the overall editorial flow.

ESOmAR takes care of the editing, proof-reading and design of pages, so all you need to contribute is the text, the name(s) of authors along with their photos and details, working to the content copy deadlines to ensure a high-quality result. The logo, and any graphs or images should be high-definition format for print purposes.

19RESEARCH WORLD | November/December 2013

any work done online or through mobile devices … or is it justthat market research from yesterday is the only true research?

No, market research is in continual flux, and to manypractitioners, behavioural economics represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to innovate and reinvent our discipline.it offers a new lease on life to our industry and a chance toreframe what we offer. to these people, BE is a blast of fresh air.

that’s not to say that the experts all agree on what to do andwhat not to do, nor that they have found it easy. But that is thepoint about a community as inventive as ours: the future is beingcreated by many hands.

Following are the thoughts of some of the world-classpractitioners who have (each in different ways) managed to turnBE insight into new or evolved market research practice. Eachof them points to the future in a different way; whether or notyou seek to emulate their approaches directly, each of themshows how you might begin to create your own change in yourown work.

Exciting times!

“reasons why”–the notion seems to fit Econs much betterthan humans).

it stimulates new and interesting conversations aroundsubjects we’ve studied in much the same way for generations.a great example here is advertising research. if –as somesuggest from their reading of Kahneman and co.–advertisingeffectiveness depends not so much on transmitting the messageand exploiting its persuasive power as on the emotional impactit makes, then what should you be measuring in ad-tests? andhow? Equally, pricing research is transformed by the realisationthat most people’s ability to “do the math” is much poorer andmore error-strewn than we’d like to believe (even amongst thescientists themselves).

iS mArkET rESEArCh dEAd?does this mean that market research as we know it is dead?Well, perhaps– if you insist that market research is only what ithas been in the past (although i’m not sure how tenable thispoint of view is in the longer term, given how our practices haveevolved again and again). Few of us nowadays draw the hugesamples that the founding fathers of survey research would insiston. Few of us insist on doing all fieldwork offline and disqualify
