Harnessing the Non-Conscious Mind to Provide New Insights
by Nancy Jagou (Lieberman) United States
This paper will describe several new techniques and tools that seek to exploit these new scientific findings; but in ways that have practical application to marketing research.
These techniques are designed to help tap into the non-conscious minds of respondents to obtain reactions and evaluations that are more emotional and perhaps more valid and predictive. They include implicit techniques, emotional coding of facial reactions to stimuli and more emotionally loaded types of scales.

A More Impactful Research Engagement Model
by Mike Sherman, (Singtel) Keynote Speaker
Mike is the Head of L!ving Analytics, Group Digital Life, Singtel
This paper will discuss how the SingTel/Optus Community Panels have helped the L!ving Analytics team drive the voice of the customer into business decisions. Launched in January of 2012, SingTel and Optus Digital Advisors leverage the community panel infrastructure to move from brief to output in a week or less at a low incremental cost per activity. This flexibility has allowed the team to spend more time working with end users on clarifying the business and marketing objectives, which in turn allows for shorter questionnaires focused on the right questions.The overall impact has been a different and more impactful client engagement model and substantially greater use of customer input in key decisions.
