Dentsu Goes Digital with Complex Study Amidst Covid, Optimizes Cost, Saves Time

Denstu Case Study

Business Problem

  • Dentsu, a large media and advertising company, sought Borderless Access’ support amidst Covid to take its recurrent biannual consumer study for South Africa online to avoid interruptions. For us this meant transitioning a study with LOI of 60 to 70 minutes online without moving away from the standardized practice and capturing consumer behavior through different touchpoints.

What we did and how

  • We built a custom survey program using gamification to manage the study. Custom invites were designed listing LOI and attractive incentives
  • Re-engagement questions were implemented in the survey to ensure quality
  • Additional quality measures were followed rigorously. Data was checked across different stages before presenting it to the client to discuss anomalies and establish new normal.
  • Weighting was done on the achieved sample to match the universe proportions

Key Insights

  • We created a proprietary survey for the client, comprising around 5000 respondents, which gave them a robust understanding about the demographics and behavior across attributes such as consumer interests, passions, values, trust drivers, motivations and needs.

Client Impact :

We made transitioning a complex study online easy for Dentsu amidst Covid in an agile and cost-effective manner through precision targeting. This enabled the company to get the latest data around behavioral nuances in the South Africa region. The company saw optimized results
