Faster Research for Bigger Insight: New AI, Tools, Methods

Being able to conduct simple and effective research has become a base skill for all those involved in the development of client strategy – whether or not there is the support of a strategic planner.

However, there are three key challenges: time, budget, and ability. Often, timing is exceptionally tight, with the project being due within just weeks or days. Clients rarely provide enough budget to conduct the depth of research necessary. And, many team members are simply not skilled at conducting research that inspires breakthough strategy. This training session will address all three.

First, we’ll introduce a strategic framework you can apply to all research projects. The goal is to inform your most effective methodologies, help plan your approach, and ensure new insight is discovered – moving as quickly as possible.

Second, the session will address how to conduct two of the most fundamental and effective forms of research: intercepts and surveys. These remain among the most cost-effective and fastest ways to uncover genuine insight – but only when orchestrated correctly.

And finally, we’ll look at the role AI now plays in accelerating (and decreasing the cost of) research. This will include prompt engineering, creating synthetic personas, qualitative, and more.


Training Materials

Prior to the session, you’ll be provided the Mirren Intercept Framework Guide to help follow along and apply one of the key principles. Following the training session, those who attend will be provided with one week of recording access.


Who Should Attend

This training is designed for those client-facing team members who play a key role in developing, supporting, and presenting strategies for your clients. This may include client services/account management, strategic planning, research, data/analytics, and project management.

Instructors

Sharon Honjiyo

Director, Agency Growth Strategy

 

Sharon is Director, Agency Growth Strategy at Mirren, a firm that specializes in organic growth and new business training for agencies in digital, PR, advertising, media, experiential, and more. Each year, more than 700 agencies participate in Mirren’s annual conference, training programs, and webinars (www.mirren.com). Their team has trained CEOs and their senior management teams in every region around the world.

 

Sharon brings senior experience on both the client and agency side. Having managed roster agencies and run competitive reviews–in addition to running accounts and RFPs at her agencies–she provides tremendous insight in her training.

 

At Mirren, she empowers agency teams by training on client acquisition, retention, and growth. Achieving this, however, requires becoming a more proactive, strategic business partner. In fact, she believes there are many untapped revenue opportunities for agencies. “As a client, I regularly experienced my agencies missing many of our strategic needs that would have resulted in significant additional work.”

 

Sharon spent a good portion of her career leading account management and strategy at a number of agencies, including DDB, HL2, and Hornall Anderson Design. She was instrumental in leading client relationship training, organic growth, and numerous new business pitches. Prior to joining Mirren, she led the brand marketing team at Holland America Line, a premium cruise line within Carnival Corporation–the world’s largest leisure travel company.

 

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Sharon currently lives in Seattle with her husband.
