? wikipedia There have been tons of versions of Pepsi. A little research might stop them repeating mistakes. But they usually only do taste tests, and not test the emotional needs of the drinker.
[censored] Statistical research I can’t responsibly include.
Covering: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
“ Your TV spend is great, but we think CokeZone is generating success on its own merits too, and can prove it” Or something like that. The start of a new story for the client.
The Consumer.  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Before we start speaking, knowing the language the target speaks in is essential. (Because the client might not)

You’d have to dig. Start with the product,  then  do demographics and psychographics.
[again, inadmissable]
Covering: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
“ We think we’ve identified a specific segment of your customer base that isn’t buying as much as it could be” (so let’s make a DM for them, or adjust what we already have, or ask some more questions, or...) Another story, another chance for new business.
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],This is how awesome research is.

Editor's Notes

  1. Hello everyone. My name’s James. I’m the new researcher here, and I want to take a few minutes this morning to answer the question: what is research and what can it do?
