I’ve enjoyed the podcasts very much. I’m new to market research. My background is design and for the past few years I’ve been doing a design/research role for a performance apparel company_ mainly gathering insight into sports science and applying it to product. I am about to start a new role within the same company_ still research based but with more of a consumer insight angle, so I’m finding your podcasts facinating and very helpful. I’m hoping that my design background will enable me to gather the insight and apply it with the creativity that this podcast claims is missing from the industry in any great volume at the moment.
cheers.
