“[Brands need to start] thinking about brand expression in less rigid terms and about the ways that your brand can come to life. Gen Z is a group of people who are so incredibly aware of their own identity, culture, and of how brands work. And they're able to kind of connect multiple touchpoints to decipher or create their meaning of what a brand is.”
“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.”
“We need to be in there, ensuring AI is continuously tweaked to account for potentially negative impacts and human unpredictability. That can only be done if humans are in there, testing and tweaking AI until it works for us. Working together, we can make quicker data-driven decisions and design services that will have positive impacts for humans as well as business.”
“It was exciting to watch all of the participant responses appear in real-time on the dscout dashboard. We collected tons of quotes, videos, and images that we later used to engage many stakeholders across the organization. It helped us understand our users and their needs.”
"dscout's ability to give us moderated interviews and a survey without a separate recruit was a nice fit for our needs here. The tool gave us the chance to conduct a relatively quick, mixed-methods study with a national sample. When we added up what we needed and the timeline, dscout just fit really well."
"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 chose a Diary study because we wanted to understand these folks over time, and we know everybody's day is a little different, but Mark and I really wanted to understand, "What are the highs and lows of working for a small business?" It was also important that we have a broad representation across the country, dscout was able to offer that for us."
“For me, dscout is the best research tool out there for doing app research, or for doing research on users of technology.”
"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?"
"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."
“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.”
“With dscout's mobile Live interviews, you could tell folks felt comfortable sharing moments, experiences, and impressions more freely. There was a sense of intimacy and safety that's critical to what we're building.”
"More than ever before, we’re striving for consumer-led innovation. Tools like dscout allow us to walk that walk, and actually not only want to do that, but actually do that, by truly understanding the consumers we serve."
"Being able to do remote qual, mobile ethnographies, journaling, and robust screeners allows you to learn quickly and make sure that the time you spend with people in-person is as rich and meaningful as possible."
“dscout offered us a complete understanding. Usability problems are glaringly important from an evaluative perspective. In a typical usability test, we'll see someone encounter something once over the course of an interview. But when we're seeing people encountering things over and over, it's definitely a signal that they're more important.”
