Greater Consumer Understanding Through Cultureography

This event is over.

Cultureography and Cultureographic Mapping were developed by a team of former Yankelovich Research executives. Cultureography is a cutting-edge methodology for dimensionalizing the holistic systems through which people decide what they decide and value what they value. Cultureographic mapping can be applied to an individual, group, activity, category, or brand - all within the scope of a single study. Cultureography is a combination of foundational and tactical research in that it generates a deeper, richer, broader, different understanding of c ustomer and market dimensions while it also provides specific, actionable applications. Cultureography has been successfully applied to branding exercises, product development, concept testing, generational research, and even direct response marketing (where response rates have increased by more than 200% over controls), to name a partial list. What makes cultureographic research fundamentally different from convention studies is that it is designed around an understanding that decisioning and valuation occur within the three dimensions of micro values systems, lexicons, and change vectors - a new and comprehensive understanding of what marketers need to know to understand, communicate with, and persuade.
