Civicom Commentary in GRIT Report: Successfully Curating Online Qual is Now the Greatest Challenge

GREENWICH, Conn., Feb. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Leading global marketing research services provider Civicom® is a featured commentary writer in the latest edition of the GreenBook Research Industry Trends (GRIT) Report.

The GRIT Report is an invaluable exploratory and strategic guide drawn from a comprehensive survey on the market research industry. The recently released findings, derived from data collected in Q3 and Q4 of 2018, covers both traditional and innovative market research trends and challenges crucial to the progress of the sector. The latest edition of the GreenBook report tackles the evolving role of the modern researcher, adoption of emerging methods, and also buzz topics such as automation or AI, among many others.

As a leading provider of marketing research services worldwide, Civicom continues to be at the forefront of developing solutions using the latest technologies to enhance the market research process. For the past few years, Civicom has consistently participated alongside industry experts in discussions, also spearheaded by GreenBook, on challenges and game-changers in the insights industry.

In Civicom's commentary in the latest GRIT report, Rebecca West, Global Vice President of Marketing Research Services, weighs in on the difficult task researchers face when trying to present reports to an audience inundated by an endless barrage of media content. West points out that successfully curating online qual is now the greatest challenge for researchers – in today's "short-clip visual environment," where almost everyone is conditioned to getting information instantly, insight professionals face the pressure of making a stronger impression in a shorter period of time. She reminds readers about the effect of proper content curation in reporting results: "The last thing you want is a client audience that ignores the fruits of your labor."

West also writes that adoption of a video management and curation tool such as Glide Central™ is key in efficiently piecing together data and producing impactful reports, citing that solving the pain points of curating the overwhelming amount of video content from qualitative research is a significant issue researchers often find themselves tackling.
