SPEAKER ABSTRACTS Digital Boost in Latin America Alexandro Herrera, TNS, Mexico Presented by Antonio Gomez, TNS Argentina

It’s estimated that Latin America will be one of the regions boasting the greatest internet growth in the coming years. However it is not just the size of the digital population in the region which makes marketers sit up and take notice; it is the unique character of the online world here which makes it a natural and attractive medium for marketers to connect with consumers. According to Digital Life, a ground-breaking research study conducted by TNS in 60 countries, 34% of Latin-Americans stated that they can better express their feelings in the online environment. To understand not only the behaviour but also the needs and attitudes of Latin-American digital consumers is paramount to planning a digital strategy that addresses this market.

Should Latin America Fall in Love with Shopper Mobile Research? Armando Mora, Ipsos, Mexico Fabio Martins, Ipsos, UK

Presented by Camila Fisher and Daniel Finder, Ipsos Argentina The idea of the “Digital Era” is dead. Currently people are not becoming more connected – they are simply never disconnected. Mobile usage is at unprecedented levels in countries around the world, with mobile usage in some emerging markets surpassing usage in developed markets. Mobile technology has the potential to change the face of research as we know it – yet we must understand its possibilities and limitations before leaping forward. Explore with us the potential for mobile research in Latin America, learn how mobile can be leveraged most effectively, and become inspired on how it can stretch the boundaries of research as we know it. The Power of Pacha Mama Mother Earth and the construction of successful brands Julia Helena Carrillo, Consultor Apoyo, Ecuador Cristina Paez, Consultor Apoyo, Ecuador María Augusta Iturralde, Komité, Ecuador Presentyed by: Julia Helena Carillo, Consultor Apoyo, Ecuador The results of this research project opens up new possibilities of including new research approaches where one can find innovative material that can contribute to the successful construction of powerful local brands. Working in the examination of the historical and cultural environment of the area where the products are being made can significantly improve the construction of brands that are not only coherent and solid, but also have a real empathic impact with the target audience and its roots. You can give the brand a clear relevant identity, full of deep personal values and elements that make future consumers proud. The power of PACHA MAMA (mother earth) was clearly expressed in the construction of this successful brand.
