On today's episode, Brian Lamar and Producer Brian delve into a couple of big news stores out of the market research world.  Kicking off the episode, to guys discuss what they go up to during the Fourth of July holiday, which leads down a bit of a rabbit hole around fireworks and what is the appropriate amount of time around the holiday people should be setting them off. Then the guys jump into a couple of big market research news stories. First up, the guys discuss the news of Engine's rebrand to Big Village. They talk about what the vision of the rebrand might be and how it will apply to their overall offerings and position in the marketplace. In the second big story, Brian and Producer Brian talk about the announced merger between GfK and NielsenIQ that was announced on Friday, July 1. They talk about how it seemed like the two companies were trying to sneak this news in at the start of a holiday weekend. They also discuss how the merger seems like a good fit for both companies. Finally, they ponder what the combined company may look like in the future.  Thanks for listening! Miss our webinar, Diversity in Sample? No problem!

Welcome back! We have a fully loaded news episode for you today. Kicking off the episode, Brian Lamar and Producer Brian talk about an incident with Brian Lamar at his other job as a township trustee. After some jokes about Brian getting visited by the FBI (if you are familiar with Cincinnati city politics, you understand), the guys jump into a boatload of market research news.  The first few stories the guys discuss all deal with SurveyMonkey, including their new launch as Momentive, their new CFO, and their new AI-based audience targeting solution. Next, the guys discuss the new unicorn valuation of Morning Consult, and what it means to the industry, Toluna's launch of a new enterprise insights subscription, a new panel created by NORC and AARP, and a recent acquisition by Sermo. The next story about a recent acquisition made by consumer insights platform, DISQO, leads to a lengthy discussion about the trend in market research in combining first-party and third-party data. Brian and Producer Brian discuss where the trend is going and how the other larger trend with the rise of data privacy and consumers wanting to control their data play with each other. After the data discussion, the guys touch on Sprinklr's IPO announcement, Research Defender adding another client integrating their data quality tools, and Alida's new financing to fund their aggressive growth strategy. In our final story, we wish friend of the podcast, Andrew McKinney, congratulations on his new role as the Director of Marketing and Strategic Accounts at the Insights Association.

I’m going to start this with a personal note.  A big part to achieve happiness is saying, “No.” This is something that has gotten much harder for me in the past few years.  As I’ve said, “Yes,” to more things, I’ve found less personal satisfaction and external success. The world is evolving at an increasingly fast pace. This change generates chaos and at the heart of chaos, we find opportunity. For me, and I believe many of us, this creates a growing sense of FOMO (fear of missing out) because we see the opportunities.  So, why start a daily news show and weekly newsletter?  I love our community of insight professionals. We generate a lot of research on research. I’m not talking about the self-promoting webinars or blog posts, I’m talking about the content that impacts us all — optimal incentives, ethical implications of technology, process improvements, keys to storytelling — these are the types of topics you are writing about and we want to elevate … for free.  The end of this bit needs to be what am I saying, “No,” too? The answer is everything. I’m not adding a single thing to my plate.  The other tactic I leverage is my team. For example, this podcast. My co-host, Chueyee Yang, does 90% of the work — writing, post-production, scheduling, and publishing — all takes a lot of time. My hope for you is that you can be focused, not meandering, but move purposefully with your time towards your goal.   If you have feedback on MRx News, please let us know. @jaminbrazil on twitter or, if you have news, please send it to Chueyee@happymr.com.  Industry News This week,  Microsoft and dunnhumby announce their global strategic partnership where dunnhumby will move its customer insights products to Azure, Microsoft’s cloud platform.  This from Clare Barclay, Chief Operating Officer at Microsoft UK:  “Retailers sit on vast amounts of data but often struggle to create meaningful insights for themselves or their suppliers. Through this strategic partnership, retailers across the globe will benefit from the powerful intelligence that dunnhumby delivers through its market-leading tools with the scale, security and speed-to-market that has become synonymous with the Azure platform.” Why is this so important? The incorporation of external data into primary data is a meaningful trend.  News This week, PureSpectrum introduced PureScore, a scoring system that evaluates respondent quality based on their profile, past behavior, and current behavior. This innovation has been spearheaded by Mark Menig, an OG in digital fingerprinting and respondent quality best practices.  PureSpectrum: https://purespectrum.com  Friendly Competition GreenBook and Little Bird Marketing have launched the Market Research Podcast Awards. Nominations are due February 15, and voting will be open February 16 through March 31. Your nomination of this show or our sister podcast, Happy Market Research, would be appreciated. :)   Little Bird Marketing: https://info.littlebirdmarketing.com/mr-podcast-award  Tool vs. Post of the Week We are researchers. We do this because we love it … and we get paid because we are good at it.  This segment highlights happenings in tech or knowledge. Sometimes it’ll be directly in the crosshairs of market research and sometimes it’ll simply be relevant.  Today, Josh LaMar, posted a must-read for consumer insight professionals titled, “A Fundamental Truth of User-Centered Design that is Simple, yet Forgotten.”  This article directly addresses the importance of understanding the context of usage of a product or service vs. just the product or service. As an early ethnographer at Microsoft, he lets us all draw from his experience.  Josh LaMar: A Fundamental Truth of User-Centered Design that is Simple, yet forgotten https://medium.com/@joshlamar/a-fundamental-truth-of-user-centered-design-that-is-simple-yet-forgotten-d65d17265257 In Human Capital News 

Have a great idea? Conifer Research offers us all some practical advice about slowing down to go faster. And I quote, “Jumping to conclusions too early is like drinking OJ before brushing your teeth. We’ve all done it, and it never end well. Next time you think you’ve got the answer, stop and park your ideas on the side to allow yourself time to fully understand the problem.” Fortunately, we took this advice before starting MRx News. You can read all about our origin story in next week’s Newsletter.  WIRe Toronto Event Lead Barb Paszyn along with fellow women research executives from around the world released a blow about what they've learned and experienced during WIRe networking events. My favorite was from Rebecca Brooks.  “Our panelists that spoke on recruiting reminded us of the value of treating respondents like real people. People are complicated and fascinating and so much more than demos or $3 CPIs.”  Indi Young has opened up a course on recognizing patterns in unstructured data that remove confirmation and cognitive bias. It's verb-forward and very powerful. As CES 2020 is winding down, there has been a lot of chatter by your fellow insight professionals around the intersection between consumer insights and leading tech.  One emerging them is the adoption of audio. Audible published this ad on youtube.  Set in a busy train station, Temptations opens with a woman seen killing time before she catches her train. After receiving a notification, various applications pop up and buzz distractingly around her. Podcasts are projected to grow by 3x in 2020 according to the BBC. Happily, we offer a podcast to help occupy your unwanted quiet between moments. if you are looking to spend less time on your apps...tune into Happy Market Research.  And that’s your daily briefing of marketing research news.  Find Jamin Online: Email: jamin@happymr.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jaminbrazil Twitter: www.twitter.com/jaminbrazil Find Us Online: Twitter: www.twitter.com/happymrxp LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/happymarketresearch Facebook: www.facebook.com/happymrxp Website: www.happymr.com Sources: WIRe: https://twitter.com/WomenInResearch/status/1215656133932855296  Indi Young: https://indiyoung.com/advanced-training-cultivating-patterns Music:  Temptation by Audible UK - Audiobooks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipJqhVa6q6g&feature=youtu.be

First off … Happy 2020!!! In 2020, we are taking a totally new approach to the Happy Market Research Podcast and is introducing a new show, MRx News. First off, we’ve got a new host! Chueyee Yang. She has been with me for over a year and is finally ready to spread her journalistic wings. New Format of Happy MRxP This podcast will have a journalistic approach, covering issues surrounding our industry and the companies it touches. Our three-part 2019 year-in-review series was our first example of this change. Because it takes time to plan the series, we will release one series per quarter (two to four episodes). However, we’ll continue to drop weekly episodes summarizing news and happenings in our space. Meet MRx News A daily two-minute podcast where we cover trends, industry reports, mergers and acquisitions, and people. To subscribe, just open Apple’s Podcast app, or wherever you listen and search for “MRx News.” Super curious to hear what you think about the new format. Tweet me @jaminbrazil and let me know! Industry News This week Dynata invested around $2 million in the blockchain startup, Measure Protocol. Meanwhile, Greenbook’s Lenny Murphy’s blockchain startup Veriglif is scratching a similar itch. It’ll be interesting to see this space mature as I believe it’ll address issues around respondent transparency. Deals If you are interested in attending Merlien Institute’s Qual 360, Women in Research (WIRe) published a discount code, WIRE20. I’ve been constantly impressed with Merlien Institute’s events and, if you have the time and money, I hope you can attend. I’ll likely be at their North America event from March 24 to 25. Tool vs. Post of the Week This week C+R Research published a blog post on, “5 benefits to a collaborative culture, and why it works so well,” for them. One person can’t think of everythingWe all have a unique perspectiveIt helps us grow It’s more efficientIt produces better research

Hi everyone! Alexandra here. I wanted to give a little shoutout to our partner podcast, MRx News, as well as let you know that there are always lots of helpful links in our shownotes. Be sure to check them out. Have a great day!

Hear a message from Alexandra about the complementary show, MRx News.

Tell us a little bit about your background. Jamin grew up on a farm in Visalia which taught him the grit of working hard. His father had the foresight to know that tech was going to set the future of industry and bought an Apple 2 for the family. He gave Jamin the opportunity to learn programming and tech, which he parlayed into a small web development business. How did you end up in the market research space? From the web dev jobs, Jamin was hired as a market researcher at a boutique firm where he met Jayme Plunkett. It was there that Jamin first realized that using the internet to distribute surveys would cut research time (and therefore cost) into a fraction of what it was before. Why did you start Decipher? Jamin is always looking for ways that tech can reduce time, difficulty, friction in daily lives. That first test of web delivered surveys was the seed of Decipher. What does happiness mean to you? Why is the podcast titled Happy Market Research? Jamin loves to have fun, and one of his favorite ways to spread joy is to provide that "aha" moment for clients. When they really understand what the data means for their business, they are able to make the right decisions. What core belief is most essential to your worldview? During a father-daughter dinner in Sacramento, Jamin noticed homeless people setting up camp for the night on the lawn in front of the capitol building. He pointed this out to his daughter and asked her, "Which would be better, to spend our money protecting and bettering our family or on the people out there?" Her response was that to spend it on the people out there is to spend it protecting their family. Making the world around you better, makes it better for oneself in the process. What does market research really do for businesses? Why should businesses pay attention to it? At core, market research facilitates answering a question. Businesses want to ask questions of their consumers. If you have millions, hearing them clearly becomes very difficult. That's where market research comes in. What is one of the biggest opportunities for market research? Market research isn't merely about finding the data and delivering it to the businesses. It's also about interpreting it. As tech progresses, businesses have more, faster, and easier tools to directly access customer data. But market researchers have the training and background to deliver big insights -- to be the "keepers of why". We should continue to provide that and do it even better in the future. Where are you now? What are you looking to do in the future? Obviously Happy Market Research which has this podcast as well as MRx News. Happy Market Research also has a consulting arm. Jamin is also doing small tech and market research investments through Vine Venture Capital.
