“We had this observation that the technology was fairly complex and could only be totally understood by kids in the nine-to-ten-year age range. But that was also exactly when kids moved away from toys they played when they were younger. So we got to this conclusion in a week or …

“Collaborating with dscout feels like thought partnership. Every time we engage with dscout, you can tell they’re passionate about people and want to help you do better research. They’re always trying to help you be successful and build your confidence.”

"I think what was a big aha moment is just how much the research would impact our go-to-market strategy and marketing language. And we've used so much of the keywords from the word cloud in our language, whether that's the website, or our pitch decks."

"We really needed quick and punchy content to engage our team and help them focus. So for us, this meant prioritizing succinct video clips, and other really engaging formats that would hold people's attentions in order to deliver our insights for maximum impact."

“Mobile ethnography on the dscout platform allowed for tremendous depth of understanding about our users—more than any other project that I’ve worked on. We built relationships with our participants, and got prolonged exposure into their mental models, life situations and emotional journeys.”

"After about 10 interviews, we heard a few key themes pop up again and again. We held a debrief session, designed a few solutions, and made some language and sequencing changes immediately. The detail and clarity of the feedback gave us the confidence we needed to act quickly."

“Participants are so much less self-conscious on dscout. They’re hanging out and talking to you, and they’re getting super real. My clients are amazed they can’t get over the fact that people will do this.”

“We've been able to take on 40% more studies. I don't even think I could put into words how much time Private Panels saved us. It's completely changed the game for us.”

"The dscout platform simplified the process, eliminating much of the logistical coordination work and letting me focus only on the information I wanted to get and the information that I did get."

"We couldn't think of a way better to do that other than using dscout and sending scouts to do it. We were able to select from a diverse pool of participants who live, work, and play near these six airport locations, and they were able to download the Enterprise app, …

"I hadn’t talked to potential customers yet and started to think, ‘Do people really use a changing table or do they just avoid it? Do they not even go into the store?"

“Getting kids to speak freely about things on their own time and in their own language can be a challenge, and that’s why we paired dscout’s mobile ethnographic approach with in-home interviews.”

"I knew I had strong feelings after working on the team as a researcher for several years about where I wanted ReOps to focus its efforts, and I did not want to unintentionally interpret the diary study submissions through that lens. We are not a user research team of one …

“In beta tests, it’s important to identify patterns. But we want to understand what’s causing those patterns, and to understand if they’re problems. Capturing those candid moments that users spend with the product allows you to determine when to take action—that’s key.”

“It is so eye-opening to hear and see real people in their homes, their cars, wherever they do mobile work, talk about their pain points and what motivates them. How they're responding to different product or communications experiences. It's really undeniable, once you're exposed to it.”
