The Future of Research event series kicked off in the MENA region, with Kuwait being the first market to host it. The event entitled the New Normal, accommodated Ipsos through a half day program that took place at the prestigious corporate conference venue of Jumeirah Al Messilah Beach Hotel. The day began with an early morning power breakfast to break the ice and informally introduce clients to the Ipsos senior management team.
Building on the huge success of its previous regional syndicated study, “She Speaks”, Ipsos Marketing in MENA is launching a new syndicated study, this time targeting one of the most important and most disruptive consumer segments in the region: Millennials.
The MENA region has some of the highest internet penetration figures in the world and a proliferation of high end devices. In parallel, operators have invested heavily in fixed and mobile broadband services to be able to deliver high quality experiences to customers.
Combine an explosive growth in Internet usage, a wave of tech-hungry millennials and the infiltration of smart devices in the MENA region, and witness a digital transformation taking consumer lifestyles by storm.
Women are one of the most powerful consumer segments in the world. Not only does their influence extend across major categories, they are also the main influencers when it comes to purchase decisions relating to the household.
Ethnography is a qualitative research technique, characterised by spending extended periods of time with people. We immerse ourselves in their world so we can observe and understand what they say, what they do and how they do it.
