be treated as any other
subsample in any
quantitative work
_ Try to get clients to ask
the Brand Momentum
question as well
The 6 Prosumer Statements
Please indicate the degree to which you agree with each of the following statements (5=Strongly agree; 4=Somewhat agree; 3=Neither agree nor disagree; 2=Somewhat disagree; 1=Strongly disagree):
1. I’m typically the first or second person I know to try new things; I consider myself a real independent thinker and experimental
2. I am frequently the one doing the newest thing(s) first 3. When I have a great or an awful experience with a new brand, product,
service, vendor, venue, anything, I tell lots of other people4. I am often consulted by my peers for counsel and recommendation on a range
of topics (e.g., vacation destinations, restaurants, movies)5. I trust what I read in newspapers and magazines, and believe what I hear on
television and radio6. I consider myself far behind the times and not very engaged in either
consumerism or pop cultureIMPORTANT: Clients and research vendors must sign the specially written client NDA and send the signed copy to NY (Jenny Burke) prior to being given access to the prosumer statements or algorithm

Working with Prosumers
_ Research_ Brand Tracking
Clients In-House
_ Qualitative_ Quantitative_ Prosumer Panels_ Databases
Qualitative Research: Focus Groups, Interviews, etc.
_ Download the prosumer algorithm and NDA from my.eurorscg.com_ Have your recruitment supplier sign the NDA and send the signed copy to NY
(Jenny Burke)_ Write your recruitment spec in the normal way to recruit your chosen sample_ To identify prosumers within the sample, just apply the 6-question algorithm
_ Always recruit both
prosumers and nonprosumers to
enable comparison
_ Do not mix prosumers and nonprosumers
in a group discussion—
keep them separate
Quantitative Research: Online and Offline Surveys
_ Download the prosumer algorithm and NDA from my.eurorscg.com_ Have your recruitment supplier sign the NDA and send the signed copy to NY
(Jenny Burke)_ Write your recruitment spec in the normal way to recruit your chosen sample_ To identify prosumers within the sample, just add the 6-question algorithm
_ Always recruit both
prosumers and nonprosumers to
enable comparison
_ Ask that the prosumers be treated as any
other subsample in any
quantitative work
Local Prosumer Panels
_ Establishing prosumer panels in all major markets in 2005
_ Immediate access to prequalified prosumers in predetermined categories
_ Allows us to tightly identify and target prosumers based on their interests, areas of expertise, demographic characteristics, product affinities, and brand ownership
_ Lets us tap into prosumer insights in a timely, cost-effective way
_ Concept or strategic testing_ Advertising pretests_ Evaluation of new communications_ Determination of current trends _ Competitive analysis in terms of image, attitudes, and usage
Setting Up a Prosumer Panel
_ Partner with a local quantitative market research company_ Needs to be big enough to conduct numerous polls for various clients
on monthly basis
_ Have them sign NDA and send signed copy to NY (Jenny Burke)
_ Choose the categories in which you are interested(linked to major clients and new business)
_ Cost of setting up panel will be funded 50:50 by WW and local office
_ To get 50% funding from WW, you will need to send your plans to Global Prosumer Team for approval (Andrew Benett, Jenny Burke)
_ All other usage costs are on ad hoc basis_ Use the panel to
conduct regular
Brand Momentum studies
Databases
_ Currently working with 4D team on creating a model to find prosumers on existing databases for relationship marketing
_ Successfully re-interviewed a representative sample of existing database to find prosumers and then “reversed back” into full dataset
_ Talk to Marc Lepere or Andrew Benett

_ CBI Labs_ Brand Momentum_ AdScreen
Creative Business Idea® Lab
_ A daylong immersion in which you bring together the agency’s best thinkers, across disciplines, to work with the agency brand team in pursuit of a CBI
_ Including the client creates a feeling of shared ownership of the idea_ Including prosumers validates the idea
_ Just agency staff for new business pitches
_ Include people from
outside brand team
to inject new thinking and enthusiasm
_ Invite from other
offices, other countries
_ Videotape the sessions and edit a
CBI Lab film for client
presentation
How to Conduct a Creative Business Idea® Lab
_ Labs can range in size from 15–35+ participants, with individual teams typically limited to 5–7 people
_ Identify a lab leader to drive the agenda and handle logistics_ Identify a moderator or team leader to lead each of the breakout sessions_ Stock breakout rooms with pads, pens, and thought starters_ Keep people well fed and watered
_ Pack the agenda,
alternating between
team exercises and
presentations, to
maintain engagement,
energy, and enthusiasm
_ Encourage competitiveness
between teams; this will
improve the thinking
_Consider token prizes
A Prosumer CBI Lab: Nokia
_ Remember to clearly identify agency people vs. prosumers
Creative Business Idea® Lab: The Briefing
_ Begin with a briefing that grounds participants in the problem at hand and what is currently known about it
_ Follow Euro RSCG’s fundamental strategic process (3 Circles)_ Identify and describe the forces of momentum relative to the issue in the 3 areas: for
the category, for prosumers, and for the brand_ You may find it most useful to have the brand team brief on the category, the planners
brief on prosumers, and the client team brief on the brand
CategoryMarket Momentum: BrandProsumer
Creative Business Idea® Lab: The Thinking
_ Design the exercises to suit the issues at hand_ Use templates to force thinking and creativity toward specific ends _ More loosely structured for brainstorming _ Have teams work on the same exercises if possible
_ Often, courses of action become evident through the commonality of thinking among the different teams
_ Alternate these creative exercises with presentations of the thinking by each team to the entire group
_ Subsequent exercises often build on results of preceding exercises_ Generally, the teams challenge each other’s thinking and drive each other to better
results_ Maintain an attitude of flexibility, while fulfilling the objectives of the lab

Brand Momentum: What It Is
_ A new tool for brand tracking and analysis, with well-proven political origins
_ In effect, a dynamic measure of a brand’s perceived progress relative to the competition or a set of issues
_ Unlike the “rearview mirror” approach of conventional brand trackers, Momentum Polling provides a sensitive read on both current position and future direction
_ It is, therefore, highly actionable—unlike conventional brand tracking
_ It is particularly useful in tracking integrated, Power of One communications, as it monitors a brand’s total activity rather than the traditional approach of tracking by discipline or campaign
Brand Momentum: Existing Data
_ Each of the Prosumer Pulse® samples was randomly split into 3 equal groups and asked to rate 1/3 of approximately 500 local, regional, and global brands
_ Brand lists ranged from a low of 321 in Mexico to a high of 708 in Germany
_ This gives us momentum data on thousands of brands in the U.S., Mexico, France, Germany, Russia, Spain, the U.K., India, China, Japan, and Australia
_ All data is available on my.eurorscg.com
Brand Momentum Measures
_ Net Rating: % “gained ground” minus % “lost ground”_ Momentum Factor: Sum of those who don’t perceive a
change (“Stayed the Same” or “Not Sure”) divided into Net Rating
_ Accentuates performance of brands that have high levels of awareness and perceived change
_ Prosumer Strength: Net Rating among prosumers minus Net Rating among nonprosumers

Shuffling the Mix: Intel
_ Intel’s brand momentum was analyzed relative to 3 sets of companies:
_ The top 10 brands by momentum score from the entire battery of brands evaluated in each country
_ A more traditional set of competitors; in this case, computer brands
_ A wider competitive set; in this case, companies that will be competing for mindspace within the digital home
_ Based on our knowledge of the brand from other data sources, the momentum data was remarkably accurate in demonstrating where the brand is strongest and weakest

_ Simply add the brands in which you are interested to an existing or syndicated questionnaire and ask…
The Brand Momentum Question:
“Please indicate whether over the past few years each of the following brands has gained ground, lost ground, or stayed the same in terms of popularity among consumers”
_ In some instances, you may want to compare momentum on a particular dimension; for example:
_ “Please indicate whether over the past few years each of the following brands has gained ground, lost ground, or stayed the same as a technology leader”
_ “Please indicate whether over the past few years each of the following brands has gained ground, lost ground, or stayed the same as a company that can be trusted to help consumers make and/or execute sound investment and financial planning decisions”
How to Conduct Brand Momentum Polling
How to Conduct Brand Momentum Polling
_ Build in to existing client
tracking studies
_ Regularly update momentum
ratings via syndicated polls or
prosumer panels
_ Perform comparisons over time
using data from benchmark
studies_ Always recruit both prosumers
and nonprosumers to enable
comparison
AdScreen
_ Stripped-down version of conventional pre-testing methodologies
_ No diagnostics _ AdScreen focuses on 4 key elements:
_ Is the ad on strategy?_ Does it communicate the strategy well?_ Is the creative expression of the strategy well
branded?_ Is the creative expression of the strategy
persuasive?_ Model tested against MB Link methodology
as “control”_ Test animatics perform incredibly similarly
in both methodologies
Model tested and now operational
Online Process Throughout…
_ Pre-test commissioned via AdScreen website_ Client inputs against standardized
brief (variables minimized) and uploads animatic
_ System generates online questionnaire for approval
_ Questionnaire automatically drops into appropriate online survey vehicle via Market Probe Int’l (NY)
_ Completions feed into central hub database, which automatically generates results
_ Report made available online through password-protected download
_ Download available as PDF or PPT document

_ Project Fishing
Project Fishing
_ Intensive prosumer immersion sessions (a day, a weekend, or longer), during which you have prosumers do the thinking for you
_ Goal: To deconstruct current product attributes and identify opportunities for new products, new markets, and innovations in response to genuine prosumer needs
_ Format: Combination of group exercises and presentations, 1:1 interviews, and group discussions
_ Moderated discussions (typically centered on needs, desires, issues, frustrations, wish lists)
_ Exercises based on “homework” submitted by participants in advance of arrival: behavior or usage logs
_ Ideation exercises—inventing new products or services_ Best-practices exercises that apply learning from competitors and other industries_ SWOT exercises (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats, AND Trends) on
current client offerings_ Marketing-plan development (most relevant times, places, occasions)_ New target markets
Project Fishing: Examples
_ Prosumer moms create new products they wish they had for their homes
_ Now a standard feed into RB’s normal product-development process
_ RB deemed it so successful they asked us to conduct a similar session with their top global product-development staff
_ Prosumer parent and teen pairs discuss their respective roles in home-technology decisions and what they want in the digital home of the future
_ Unmet desires identified in the analysis of the home-technology “inventions” the groups created
_ Learning incorporated into Intel’s product-development thinking for its foray into the digital living room
How to Run a Project Fishing Session
_ Recruit a total of 20–50 participants who represent the target or key target segments
_ Use algorithm to identify prosumers_ To ensure active participation, also screen for creativity, category
engagement, and personality
_ Use an offsite location such as a
spa, hotel, or a conference or training center
_ Build in plenty of
relaxation and “getting to know
each other” time
_ Have lots of exercises and group
presentations_ Videotape the
sessions and interviews for client
presentation
