For research focused on issues regarding young people in The Netherlands, we have set up a joint venture with Spunk. This group of young, dynamic and highly talented journalists (16-19 years old) is perfectly suited to engage with other young people and explore their perspectives on various issues. STBY is intensively involved in the preparations for the in-depth data collection and in the analysis of the qualitative results. In shared creative workshop sessions the findings from the interviews are processed into high level consumer insights. To ¬†optimize the communication and understanding of the results, clients are invited to be present in these analytic workshop sessions.

Join our participant network

Karien — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:10:41 +0000

When we kick off a new research project, one of the first things we do is search for participants. We look for people in all shapes and forms and a variety of interests. The area of interest in a study can range from mobile Internet users to extremely healthy and active people, or people who care about their water usage. Each research has a charm of its own.

If your interested in sharing your idea’s, motivations, activities and being part of a service design research, we invite you to join our participant network and get updated with our latest searches. You will be invited to participate in a research if you fit the profile and you can then choose to register or not. Depending on the client, for most researches you will receive a financial gift.

Our main goal is to find the right people for the research. So what ever your profile, you are always welcome in the network. The main quality you need is to be you. To join the network sent an email to karien@stby.eu with your:

Name:
Date of birth:
Male/Female:
Email address:
Telephone number:

Also, if you know anyone else who maybe interested in getting involved, please feel free to send this on to them.
