Interviews: The impact of Twitter and cool research

Posted on January 5, 2012

Sometimes, people taking research forward at InSites are being interviewed by media, peers or influential people in the marketing research business (see this Dutch interview with Joeri and MTV’s Mattias Behrer at Marketingfacts). We don’t always publish or link to these interviews because we dont’t want to be overpromoting ourselves too much. Maybe sometimes we are too modest, so we’ve decided to make an exception at the start of 2012 for 2 interviews Tom De Ruyck was lucky to have. One with his friend Tom Anderson at NextGen Market Research (“Making Market Research COOL (again)?” and one with Brian Tarran at ResearchLive (‘I didn’t expect Twitter to have such a great influence on our profession‘).

Research: Hyves brand understanding

Posted on December 2, 2011

For Hyves, the biggest social network in The Netherlands, InSites Consulting was privileged to do a research on brand understanding and perception. What characterizes Hyves-users the most, how do “Hyvers” use their favorite social network in relation to other networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, GooglePlus and Twitter? How well is Hyves performing when we analyze the users via the CRUSH-model? The research showed, that Hyves is 2 times more known by the Dutch internet population than LinkedIn and Twitter, the awareness for Facebook is equal. The research also showed that only 2 percent of the Dutch population has an account on all 5 major social networks. Yesterday, Hakim Zemni presented the results at Hyves HQ in Amsterdam. Check out the slides below for more interesting facts and figures and read the quote of Hyves-CEO Marc de Vries.
