I am partnering with Little Bird Marketing. I have my good friend, Ashley Le Blanc, who is joining us today. We are going to be talking about Insights Marketing Day. This is an annual event that is hosted in Chicago, and I hope you can make it. So Ashley, welcome to the show. [00:00:27] Ashley Le Blanc: Thanks for having me. I'm excited to talk about Insights Marketing Day. It's one of my favorite events. [00:00:33] Jamin Brazil: You know, mine, too. I've been to it for the last couple of years. I always get a ton out of it. You have a great speaker lineup. So why don't we start there? Talk to us a little bit about some of your highlighted speakers. [00:00:44] Ashley Le Blanc: What I love about our speaker lineup- of course, this is an event that is geared towards people with a marketing mindset, but we really try to pull our speakers from lots of different industries. So we have Andy Crestodina, he is a fan favorite. He's been at several of our Insights Marketing Day. He's Chicago based, he's from Orbit Media, but he's kind of like our web and SEO guru. So for anyone who has questions about how do I rank for certain keywords, how do I get my website optimizing the correct way, he is the go-to person. He's personally one of my favorite speakers. We'll have other insights professionals like Sequoia Glen, Bob Farrow from Trusted Talent. He's going to be talking a little bit about employee retention, which is always a fun topic. David Paul from Dialsmith and Lillian Labs. So lots of people from in the industry and then several people that are from more of a marketing background or even a growth strategies background too. [00:01:48] Jamin Brazil: And of course we have Priscilla McKinney who will be opening the day, as well as I believe speaking. She's got a couple topics, one centered around five LinkedIn tips for conference follow up. By the way conference follow up, conferences are the biggest marketing expenditure in most of our budgets. And we leave so much money on the table because we are not really farming the land after we've sewn the seed, using the metaphor. And so that's going to be super valuable.

And, 20 years ago today, according to Alexa, Thong Song by Sisqo was the number one song in the US. Enjoy! Alright, let's make this a kick ass day! Management Tips for Gen Z (Part Two) This is the second installment of a 2-part series on the topic of “Tips For Managing Your Gen Z Employees”. In May 2022, Chris Hauck, founder of HauckEye and Erin Sowell, founder of Thoughtful Research gave a talk at QRCA's annual event in San Diego titled: “Connecting Generations”. Their work analyzed how each generation views both itself and other generations. You can find links to both of their profiles at the end of this blog post. I know both of them would love the opportunity to engage with you about their research on generational differences. How Gen Z Views Themselves According to Chris and Erin's report, Gen Z views themselves as: Tech savvyOpen mindedCreativeFast learnersDetail oriented How Other Generations View Gen Z All generations see Gen Z as Tech Savvy. However, there are some negative views held by older generations when describing Gen Zers including… EntitledLazy NeedyMoves too fastNarcissistic While all of us have struggled with scrutiny from older generations, things are different today. We are in the tightest labor market in the last 30 years. This tight labor market means companies are having to cator more and more to employees wants, needs, and even desired. Simply put, if your first job was in the 80s, 90s or early 2000s, you probably had to do a lot of adapting to your work environment. For me, Gen X had to conform to the value system of Boomers. The outcomes where on work life balance. In fact, Gen X had to get approval for doctor appointments during the workday. My first job was in the mid 90s. We were required to get approval for even a 30-minute dentist appointment. And, if you were out of the office for any length of time, the minimum PTO cost was half a day. Not only were corporate policies prioritizing time at work, Boomers and Gen Xers saw working long hours as a badge of honor. In fact, employees would expect social shaming by peers and managers alike if you had several doctor visits in a month. The advice I was given by my dad was, “If you want to be the best employee, be the first in and last out every day.” Compare that to this TikTok of a Gen Zer explaining to their...

And, today, according to Spotify, Harry Styles' “As It Was” is the number one song in the US. I love how the music review site, pitchfork.com put it, “If Styles' last record was about having sex and feeling sad, “As It Was” seems to be about having sex, feeling sad, then getting over it.” Alright, let's make this a kick ass day! Today I'm going to cover the topic of managing employees, specifically Gen Z. This is the first of a two part series on the topic. To start, let me be honest with you…I'm not perfect and am still figuring this out. So, feedback is welcome and appreciated! Let's start with a sclesious statement. If you are a Gen Xer, that is 42 to 57 years old, then you recall the disruption to the hiring, training and engaging of Millennials as they entered the workforce. A whitepaper published in Novermber 2011 by PWC said, “The millennial generation, now entering employment, will reshape the world of work.” And they did. The risk management group Thomas McGee said, “As young professionals, they look for processes, documentation, and recruitment language as evidence of a commitment to workplace safety.” One great example is how UPS adopted VR for driver safety trainin...

This is Episode 516, and if you were born on March 28th, 1982, then according to Birthday Tunes, I Love Rock ‘n Roll by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts was the number one song on your birthday. Now, I was 10 years old when this song came out, and I can tell you, as a 10-year-old boy, Joan Jett symbolized sexuality and attitude. She sang about kicking ass, not putting up with anybody's bullshit, and not giving a- and here's a second curse word- fuck about what anyone thought about her sexual proclivities, and whether or not she was a switch hitter. Right from the start, this song, I Love Rock ‘n Roll, it drips with attitude. It has heavy drums that lead into kick-ass power chords that are in stereo with a “get off your ass and onto the dancefloor” hand clap. As the rhythm settles in, you get some badass riffs from the guitar, that introduce Joan Jett on the mic. Enjoy. [SONG PLAYS] [00:03:23] Jamin Brazil: So to you, birthday person, happy 30th birthday. To everybody else, let's make today a kickass day. Now, let's switch gears.

This is episode 510 and, according to iTunes, Cold Heart by Elton John & Dua Lipa is the number one song across the globe. Today is the last day of February. We are 2 months into 2022 and already, things are crazier than we expected them to be just 60 days ago. There are two major issues facing the world, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the threat of an economic downturn. But! This isn't a show on current events. It is a show about the world of consumer insights. What I'd like to draw your attention to is that the world of consumer insights tends to operate at a micro level. What I mean by this is businesses have questions like… is my software easy to use, do consumers like the way my product tastes, what other products should we develop,are my customers happy, and so on. The answers to these research questions rarely are placed in the context of our broader world. Let me be clear.
In this episode of Getting to Aha!, Darshan Mehta is joined by Whitney Dunlap-Fowler, Owner & Independent Brand Strategist at A Touch of Whit. They discuss Whitney's aha! journey, insights, semiotics, marketing strategies, and cultural research for businesses and brands.

This is episode 507 and, according to Spotify, We Don't Talk About Bruno is number one in the US. Today is a day to celebrate love. According to wikipedia, Love encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection, to the simplest pleasure. An example of this range of meanings is that the love of a mother differs from the love of a spouse, which differs from the love for food. Most commonly, love refers to a feeling of a strong attraction and emotional attachment. But brands haven't always loved their customers. When I started my career in consumer insights back in the early 2000s, brands talked about “Share of Wallet”. As the term suggests, marketers viewed each potential consumer as a wallet containing a finite amount of cash. The job of sales and marketing was to extract a...

I'm Jamin. You're listening to the Happy Market Research Podcast live at CRC in Dallas, Texas. Ben Kappes – nailed it – account executive, Focus Groups of America is the name of the company. Ben, thank you so much for joining me on the Happy Market Research Podcast. [00:00:18] Ben Kappes: Thank you for having me on. [00:00:19] Jamin Brazil: All right, so here we are live in person. Tell me a little bit about your business. [00:00:24] Ben Kappes: Well I guess in short FGA is a full-service research supplier and we partner with market research teams and consultants by providing them with a turnkey solution or ala carte services to support their research. [00:00:37] Jamin Brazil: Got it. Give me an example. [00:00:39] Ben Kappes: Our main services are things like recruiting and videography, but we do a lot of facilitation services as well, whether it's online or in person at a facility. [00:00:48] Jamin Brazil: Well given that you guys were predominately it sounds like in-person business pre-pandemic, the pandemic would have impacted you pretty dramatically. What do you think about getting back in person? How is that impacting you? [00:00:59] Ben Kappes: It's pretty great to be back to in person. I mean the pandemic was certainly interesting. We took a pretty dramatic shift. I guess pre-pandemic the majority of our work, I'd say like 90 percent was in person. But throughout the pandemic we've been seeing nothing but online research, which I'm sure most people in the industry have been as well. But it's certainly interesting getting back into in person but really I'm kind of indifferent one way or the other. [00:01:28] Jamin Brazil: Almost agnostic in terms of online, digital, just methodologies now. [00:01:34] Ben Kappes: Yeah, I mean in person is certainly fun. It's nice to get out of the office. But I mean online research certainly has its benefits as a lot of people have found over the last years. [00:01:44] Jamin Brazil: What do you see as a trend coming out of the pandemic that'll carry us into 2022? [00:01:49] Ben Kappes: I really – I've seen a lot of people that are planning on continuing to go with online methodologies. They find it to be cheaper, more convenient both for them and their clients. And really it just works better for them. So they're more than happy to tune into a Zoom call and you know gather their insights in that way. [00:02:08] Jamin Brazil: Yeah, so you're seeing Zoom as like one of the platforms that people are turning to for online qual? [00:02:12] Ben Kappes: Yeah, a lot of people are using Zoom. I know there's a few different you know platforms available. We actually offer our own. But ours is actually built off of Zoom. We found it to be the most robust platform and really the platform that let us tailor it for market research the best. [00:02:30] Jamin Brazil: Yeah, for sure. Zoom's – we use Zoom as well and it's been – it is just like amazing, the quality, the consistency,

Thanks so much for tuning into the Happy Market Research Podcast. I am Jamin live today at CRC in Dallas, Texas. I have with me right now Bryant Leech, Innovate MR. He is the VP of agile insights and platform solutions. Sir, welcome back to the podcast. [00:00:18] Bryant Leech: Yeah, this is my second time on it. [00:00:20] Jamin Brazil: Yeah, we're in person though for the first time, you and I together. [00:00:22] Bryant Leech: That's true. Yes. This is the first time we've actually met. It's great. [00:00:25] Jamin Brazil: It's kind of cool. [00:00:26] Bryant Leech: Great to meet you. [00:00:28] Jamin Brazil: For sure. So tell me – I mean Innovate MR has been all over the place. You guys have had a thriving success through the pandemic. Tell me about the business. [00:00:38] Bryant Leech: Yeah, so I was doing managed services before with Nielsen for quite a while. I just saw the trend kind of moving towards you know sort of quick, faster sort of solutions. And we had been using – at Nielsen we were using Innovate MR quite a bit for their panel solutions. And I just saw that there was quite a big trend, more and more proposals we were sending out were getting beat by faster players in the space. And so I just kind of found that this was maybe a perfect place for me. They were developing sort of a – it's kind of a faux pas in the industry right now, a DIY solution, so quick, fast survey solution on top of their panel platform. It was already kind of what we saw as being very quality. And so that's why I ended up joining with them. They do a lot of – so they're originally a panel company working on quality panelists and then building onto that sort of a DIY solution. So it's been great. [00:01:34] Jamin Brazil: Yeah, I read about the DIY solution. I also read about your new CEO. [00:01:38] Bryant Leech: Yes, we are very excited about Lisa joining us as our new CEO – not joining us but getting promoted to CEO. So yeah, she's great. I pull her into way too many conversations than she probably deserves to be. [00:01:50] Jamin Brazil: Or needs to be. [00:01:51] Bryant Leech: Yes, exactly. [00:01:52] Jamin Brazil: Yeah, for sure. She's a powerhouse in the industry and I got to be honest. I think that was a genius move joining one of the few female CEOs in the space. [00:02:01] Bryant Leech: Absolutely. [00:02:02] Jamin Brazil: Congratulations. Well, what do you think – I know it's early in the show but what do you think about getting back to in-person meetings? [00:02:08] Bryant Leech: It feels great to be back with everybody. You know I think it's good to see faces again rather than just small little LinkedIn profiles or on the screen with their crazy backgrounds and things like that, right over these last 18 months. [00:02:22] Jamin Brazil: Yeah, for sure. Do you have any specific expectations with the show? [00:02:27] Bryant Leech: You know I don't know exactly.

We are the Happy Market Research Podcast. Christina Corbett. Did I say it right? [00:00:05] Christina Corbett: Hello. You did. [00:00:07] Jamin Brazil: Recruiter at Suzy. [00:00:08] Christina Corbett: Yes. [00:00:08] Jamin Brazil: Suzy has been blowing up. [00:00:11] Christina Corbett: Blowing up. Thank you. I'm going to take some credit for that. [00:00:14] Jamin Brazil: You should because really a company's value I believe is largely a sum of the value of the employees. [00:00:23] Christina Corbett: Yes. [00:00:23] Jamin Brazil: So you're fulfilling a very important role by recruiting and retaining top talent. [00:00:28] Christina Corbett: Yes. [00:00:28] Jamin Brazil: But before we get into that tell me a little bit about Suzy. [00:00:31] Christina Corbett: So Suzy is your one-stop shop for all research. Our platform handles both qualitative and quantitative research all in one fell swoop so you don't have to go for any outside products, any outside data. It is all found in our platform. It's a quick turnaround. You get the best insights and your presentations are made directly in our platform so you don't even have to go to PowerPoint if you don't want to. [00:00:52] Jamin Brazil: Really cool. [00:00:53] Christina Corbett: Very cool. [00:00:54] Jamin Brazil: Love that. Of course you guys have had venture backed I believe, right. I've seen quite a few rounds of funding. [00:00:59] Christina Corbett: Yes, we are in our Series D funding, which we earned in July, $50 million. So we are so excited. You would have thought we were all getting $50 million but when someone explained to me I was still very excited; maybe a little less but still very excited. [00:01:14] Jamin Brazil: That's hilarious. So we are in person. [00:01:15] Christina Corbett: Yes. [00:01:15] Jamin Brazil: This is one of the first in-person events post-pandemic. How is it for you getting back to? [00:01:23] Christina Corbett: You know it is strange because for a while there I was like I don't know if this will ever be possible again so I'm very happy that it is. Waking up, you know more than 30 minutes before my first meeting was difficult but it was nice. I'm excited to actually see people fully, see people's shoes and like see people walking around. I'm here with some of my coworkers who I'm meeting for the first time and like it is bizarre to see how tall people are in real life. So it's great. [00:01:51] Jamin Brazil: The height thing is interesting, isn't it? [00:01:53] Christina Corbett: It is. It changes the perspective a lot. I'm sad that people know that I'm short now but it's fantastic. [00:01:59] Jamin Brazil: Me too. [00:02:01] Christina Corbett: No. [00:02:02] Jamin Brazil: We should start a support club. [00:02:04] Christina Corbett: Short-port. No, I like that better, short support. There you go. Yeah. You know, innovative. [00:02:10] Jamin Brazil: So a lot of disruption in our space.

Whitney, thanks for joining me on the Happy Market Research Podcast today.[00:00:32]Whitney: Thanks for having me Jamin.[00:00:34]Jamin: As always I like to start with a little bit of context about you. Will you please tell us a little bit about your parents and how they informed your current career?[00:00:42]Whitney: Yes, I’m really glad you asked this question. I had to think about this quite deeply. My parents were in the military. Born in Chicago, found each other in Germany while being stationed out there. And I've got to be honest, the reason it took me so long to answer this question is because there’s not always a direct link from the military into the corporate world. The military doesn’t really prepare you for that world to how to navigate those spaces but it does, it could prepare you for other things. So I had to move around a lot. Lived in Germany, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and I will say that that particular environment really allowed me to be able to acclimate to diverse office environments very quickly. I became a bit of a chameleon if you will and knowing how to do that in ...

Tell us a little bit about your parents and how they inform what you do today. [00:00:51] OLIVER SWEET: Yeah. I like this question, it's a good one and it's made me go back and have a look. So my six-year-old daughter always says, "Daddy, you were so lucky because you had two daddies." Which I think is a kind of wonderful reframing of having – The idea of having a stepfather, which is basically how I grew up. So I got influences from my mother, my father, and then my stepfather as well. So my mom and dad were young and fun and enjoyed themselves, and then at 22 they sort of had me as a slightly happy surprise, I would put it. Before they'd finished their university courses and as ever at that age, sort of plans changed and they split ways when I was three. And I met my stepfather when I was eight, and it's all been wonderful, happy family since.

Jamin: COVID, West Coast WildFires, Presidential Elections, Black Lives Matter, Virtual School. 2020 will be marked as a year of change. This is why brands are looking at insights to drive action. Dan Stradtman: That is one of the key changes is you really have to be focused in as an insights leader on return on investment. And what does that dollar buy me? And that can be very difficult to do, especially when you're talking about foundational research or early and early stage research type concept testing.

Founded in 2008, Dapresy is a data visualization platform for market research and customer experience data.

Prior to starting Dapresy, Tobi was the vice president of Hermelin Nordic Research. Tobi, thanks so much for joining me on the Happy Market Research Podcast today. [00:00:38] Tobi Andersson: Thank you very much. Glad to be here. [00:00:41] Jamin Brazil: Let’s start with our marquee question. Give us a little bit of context for the audience. What did your parents do, and how did that inform your current career? [00:00:49] Tobi Andersson: Yeah. That’s a good question. Actually, I didn’t plan to work within the market research industry. I originally grew up on a farm, and I was very much focusing on – during my time at school to become a farmer. And I also started very, very many years to get a master degree in farming. But during the studies, I realized that the farming industry, they needed to be more – using more technology. And at that time, this was the late ‘90s, there was not that much of IT solutions for the farming industry. So, during my study – the time at school, I started to learn how to program, because I wanted to create software for farmers. And I think I did that quite well, because I became a quite good programmer. And then when I was finishing my studies, and I was going to apply for my first job, that was actually at a market research agency, a fieldwork house, which is primarily market research. So, I applied for that job, and I started my career as a software programmer instead. So, yeah, that was a big change in my – to my focus. But that’s how I started in the industry. [00:01:52] Jamin Brazil: That’s so interesting. And we have seen an explosion over the last, I’d say five years, but it’s been obviously a lot more than that – earlier than that, that really mass adoption, with companies like John Deere, in the actual technology space. So, farming is now probably one of the more technologically enabled industries or sectors in our economy. [00:02:14] Tobi Andersson: No, I fully agree. The farming industry, it’s really much into technology nowadays. And here in Sweden I run a farm, in parallel with everything else I’m doing. And you can clearly see now, that technology has been very, very presenting in all the modern tractors and combines, and really supporting the farmers to get more out of each square of crops.

[00:01:01] Jamin Brazil: Anyway, so well, speaking of parents, tell me a little bit about your parents and how they informed what you do today. [00:01:07] Pepper Miller: So my parents, they're both deceased. I miss them a lot. Glad I picked them, to your note. But my parents- so my mom was an educator. And she was adventurous, Jamin. She was really ahead of her time. She had this intellectual curiosity, and I believe I got that from her. So my mother was traveling to Europe alone, and I remember she even- she went to Morocco too and she came back with pictures of her riding on a camel with a snake around her neck. So-.

Chris, thank you so much for joining me on the Happy Market Research Podcast. [00:00:37] Chris: My pleasure, Jamin. Great to be here. [00:00:40] Jamin: So I'd like to start out with a little bit of context as usual. Maybe you could tell us a little bit about your parents and how they inform what you do today. [00:00:47] Chris: It's a really interesting question. Without wishing to disrespect my parents, just to give you an idea, my mom was a housewife and my stepdad was a university professor. And in fact, I don't think I do take much inspiration career-wise from what they did. If anything, I think my inspiration comes from my grandfather, who was a self-made entrepreneur. The only boss he ever had, he says - he used to say was the RAF during the second World War. And I think that seeded somewhere in me an entrepreneurial gene that led to me cofounding Research Now and other things in the world of market research. [00:01:24] Jamin: Did you spend a lot of time with your grandfather? [00:01:27] Chris: Yes, I did. I actually left my parents' home on my 15th birthday. At the time we were living in Canada, and I moved across the Atlantic back to where I was born in England. And I lived with my grandparents, so my sort of formative teenage years or late teenage years were living with my grandparents. [00:01:42] Jamin: That's super interesting because I have a similar story. It's not about me, sorry, but just from a connection perspective, I did a similar thing where I moved out of my parents' in my mid-teens and in with my grandparents. And my grandfather was instrumental in my life in a very similar way as an entrepreneur, and he had his hands in lots of different things from garden farming to farmers market-type things to dairies, importing and exporting and whatnot. And so is very - I think that the entrepreneurial gene for me really came from his mentorship, and yes. So was he part of or around when you started Research Now? [00:02:33] Chris: Yes, he was. He's dead now because we started Research Now, myself and Andrew Cooper way back in 2000 actually, or 2003 when we rebranded as Research Now. And he was alive for about another seven or eight years after that, so he saw the early struggle, which I think all entrepreneurs go through. But also, I'm very pleased to be conscious that he also saw the early successes,

[00:00:31] Jamin Brazil: So, I’d like to start with a little bit of context. Tell us about your parents, and how they have formed what you’re doing today. [00:00:38] Orion Brown: So, I grew up on the south side of Chicago. I grew up primarily in a single-parent household. I was raised by my mom. And my dad and I actually are in touch later in life. And so, for many years, I was the only child, with a lot of time on my hands. Similar to kind of how people are feeling right now. I spent a lot of time reading, and being very nerdy. And that was always really encouraged by both of my parents, just to work really hard, and have very, very clear goals. And so, ironically, what I do today has nothing to do with what I’d say the first 20, 22 years of my life focused on. I always thought I was going to be a doctor, and a lot of life happened, and I got to my junior year of college, and I was like, I need to pivot, and I need to go get a real skill. Because all– I know pipettes and I know O-chem. But, like, how do I go out into the world? And so, really for me, I think it was the encouragement to focus on goals, and be really clear about what it is that I want. And then,

Tell us a little bit about your parents and how they informed what you're doing today. [00:02:10] Ross: Yes. So I read ahead, and I knew this question was coming, so I thought about it a little bit. So my dad, he was a marketing guy for a big company in Canada, and I think I learned a lot through just observations and hearing his stories and hearing him discuss what that world was sort of like and how it worked. But I think, you know, I tried to boil it down a little bit more, and I think the thing that affected me most that he taught me was probably empathy. He was very, very big on hold your temper. Don't ever judge anyone until you've walked a mile in their shoes, and you really need to understand the perspective of somebody else, even if it's difficult, even if it's kind of objectionable, so that you can understand where their head's at, and you can go forward.

Tell us about your parents and how they informed what you're doing today. [00:00:51] Giles: Yeah, my parents were - well, my dad is no longer alive. My mom is. They were kind of a traditional stay-at-home mom, working dad family. My dad had a very high work ethic. He came from a working-class background. He was kind of a smart guy that did OK at school. And eventually got into quantity surveying. So, kind of geeky surveying. And joined a firm when he was, I think, 27. And retired from the same firm when he was 55. And he worked his way up to senior partner. So, he just kind of grounded out in the same industry for 30-odd years. And just worked really hard. And didn't put too much pressure on me and my sister to work hard when we were kids. In fact, I often asked him for advice, and he was reluctant to give me any advice. He was kind of like, you've just got to figure it out for yourself, Giles. I went to a private school, I went to a good university. I read physics at University, I came out of that. I was bumped up a year at school, so I came out pretty young. And I was trying to figure out what I was going to do with my life. I had no idea about anything at that point. I was kind of 21. So, a little bit like studying law in the US, you can go into British grads often - certainly back then, in the early '90s, went into accountancy to get a kind of a general business grounding. So, I went and did that. I was really not very good at it. My heart wasn't in it. And then I kind of joined a few industries, I explored a few different industries. Didn't really get on with any of those. I was a geeky kid. I was into computer games and programming and stuff. And I kind of got - the Internet really didn't appear until I was in my late 20s. And when it did, I kind of - me and some friends started up a company, which we call Runtime Collective, building web applications for people. But in terms of my parents' influence on me, I think if I could take one thing out of that, it would be work ethic. I was kind of a lazy kid. I found schoolwork incredibly boring, but I could do it reasonably well.
