You can hear what they had to say here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sM4HIEr40Ls\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We also sat down with Methodify\u2019s Chief Innovation Officer,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/about\/leadership\/steve-mast\/\">Steve Mast<\/a>\u00a0to talk about the opportunities brands have to use ResearchTech.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has ResearchTech positively impacted Methodify clients?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>A number of our clients run tests\u2014sometimes several\u2014in advance of campaigns. The benefit with this \u2018test-and-learn\u2019 approach is that when it\u2019s time to actually launch their new ad or campaign, it\u2019s more often than not welcomed by consumers, as opposed to being met with backlash and criticism.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For example, the bank RBC is one of Methodify\u2019s longstanding clients and when they came to us, they were looking to quicken the process for managing creative content. The RBC team was able to automate their research process and obtain feedback at a faster rate (what once took four weeks, now takes up to 48 hours); not to mention automating research significantly reduced costs for the bank\u2019s marketing team.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>How does ResearchTech inform brand content?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>ResearchTech gives marketers a basis on which to go off. When done right, it should act as the starting point for a campaign and inform how that campaign manifests. It really should be informing every aspect of a brand\u2019s content creation, from the strategy sessions, to planning phases to execution.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you share your favourite brand campaigns that used ResearchTech?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>One of my favourite campaigns would be from our clients at J.P. Wiser\u2019s. The Hold it High campaign was almost entirely crowd-sourced and gave whisky lovers the opportunity to toast each other. One toast was actually a marriage proposal on a billboard in Toronto!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What can brands do to implement ResearchTech into their market research?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Start small. Identify goals, target markets and overall campaign concepts. Look at the various research methods available and try a pilot project that will highlight results from a particular audience segment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Methodify platform, for example, has a number of different testing methods. You can\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.methodify.it\/book-a-demo\/\" rel=\" noopener\">request a demo<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0of the platform and speak to our team to create a custom campaign that would show results in as little as 24 hours. It\u2019s much easier than people think.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New innovations in ResearchTech are finally letting companies \u201chave their cake and eat it too\u201d.
