Qualitative Research

Ravel specializes in recruitment and research methods that capture a true snapshot of the consumer experience—recruiting target consumers in-the-act and observing real-life interactions in context.  

It Starts with the Right Recruits—and Ends with Actionable Insights

Recruitment Strategy

Our recruitment strategy finds the right consumers:

  1. We identify respondents using a variety of methods—from traditional panels to “in-the-act” shopping engagements
  2. Then, we audition them via video screen, phone interview or pre-work to make sure they’re on target
  3. All moderators are experienced and professionally trained so you don’t leave with more questions than answers

Engaging Deliverables

Share powerful results and create clear, actionable next steps

Quantitative Research

You can’t identify truly actionable insights without asking the right questions. Our approach to quantitative research leverages custom analytic methods and engaging surveys to elicit thoughtful responses that map to actionable answers.

Good Surveys Get Better Data

  • Our surveys use every day conversational language—not techie jargon or marketing speak
  • We design surveys to be short and mobile friendly
  • We monitor respondent quality using a stringent quality control process

Ideation & Co-Creation

When fresh ideas are needed, co-creation can be a powerful strategy to inject new perspectives that challenge the status quo. Our approach to ideation brings together members of your team with target consumers and experts from adjacent categories to expand thinking—while providing an opportunity to test new ideas in real-time.

How Does It Work?

Ravel ideation sessions leverage our proven design framework to produce key insights through wildly free ideation.

Interactive Stimuli

Including videos, activities, presentations and stations keep participants engaged—while working as a catalyst for new ideas

Proven frameworks and templates ensure complete ideas are generated and ready for idea screening or prototyping
