Nov 2021: Do Actions Speak Louder Than Words? Integrating Digital Behavior with Qual and Quant Research

Nov 2021: Do Actions Speak Louder Than Words? Integrating Digital Behavior with Qual and Quant Research

As researchers, we know that direct questioning can provide a wide range of insights.  Sometimes, though, that can’t address everything.  An alternative source of insight is now available and becoming more widely used:  digital behavioral data.  Digital behavioral data looks at consumer activity across digital devices (PC, Mobile, Tablet) to truly understand online behavior. Direct questioning cannot deliver this complicated roadmap of activity (who remembers all the websites they visited yesterday?).  Microsoft Advertising and Luth Research partnered using digital behavioral data to understand consumer behaviors in the areas of search engine marketing (SEM) and eCommerce. During this presentation you will learn: 

1. What is digital behavioral data and how can it be used alone and with quantitative data 
2. What Microsoft’s key objectives for this research were and why this methodology was chosen
3. What Microsoft learned and how they applied the findings
