Big Action, not Big Data, please!

Can you really trust uninterested respondents? How to design surveys people actually want to take
Our respondents are people first and data second. So the quality of our data is only as good as the questions we ask. We might be seasoned market insights experts, but to create surveys that grab peoples’ attention, we need to pitch like an advertiser, engage like a story teller and entertain like a game designer. Alex shared some ideas about what can we learn from the creative industries in order to make surveys that people want to experience and not just click through - helping us to illuminate the hearts and minds of our Healthcare Professional respondents.
Conference delegates will be able to view the slides from these and all conference presentations online (delegates will receive an email when all the content is available).
