Research Planning: A Faster Path to Bigger Insight

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 planning team. However, there are three key challenges: time, budget and skill.

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 you’d prefer. And, many team members are simply not skilled at conducting effective research.

This training session will address all three. We will outline the most effective methodologies (the skills) to uncover deeper insight in less time and on a smaller budget.  With the goal of accelerating the design and execution of your research, a new framework will be provided. This model will help to confirm the most effective methodologies, plan those approaches, and ensure fresh new insight is uncovered.  We’ll also address how to conduct two of the most fundamental and effective forms of research: intercepts and surveys. These two methodologies remain the most cost-effective and fastest ways to uncover genuine target audience insight – but only when orchestrated correctly.

 


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, you 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 strategy for your clients. This may include client services/account management, strategic planning, research, data/analytics, and project management.

Instructors

Laura Matthews

Director, Agency Growth Strategy

 

Laura 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.

 

Laura brings senior account leadership and business development experience, with a background in client engagement and former roles in business development for tech companies. With experience across a broad range of industries and agencies (full service, PR, digital), Laura provides tremendous insight in her training.

 

At Mirren, Laura trains agency teams on client retention, growth, strategy, and new business, empowering them to strengthen their client relationships and better position their value. “Too often, agencies limit themselves to a vendor role where they’re seen as order takers. The most successful agencies make the effort to deeply understand their clients’ categories and bottom-line goals, and they deliver work that is clearly positioned to impact those goals.”

 

Laura has run accounts at several independent agencies, managing integrated campaigns and digital strategy. She spent nearly six years with VMLY&R, where she led work for Bridgestone, Tennessee Tourism, and Intel, among other brands.

 

Originally from South Carolina, Laura moved to Seattle in 2019 after spending a decade in Nashville, TN.
