Also, if you are interested in Ethnography there is a great debate going on in the AMSRS LinkedIn group, discussing “When is it ethnography and when is it not ethnography?”.
This Ethnography event has been sponsored by Square Holes, who describe themselves in the following way:
"The agency prides itself on being youthful and progressive, and events such as this are all about constant evolution of how market researchers better understand consumers.
From an explosive frustration with boring ho-hum research with no creativity nor depth, Square Holes materialised six years ago and has grown solidly working with clients across Australia and beyond with a focus on supporting branding, advertising and digital. Specialist areas include youth, FMCG, health promotion, consumer services, social advertising and sports, art and culture. Square Holes has a strong on-line and off-line offering of traditional and new research tools.
So, if you are keen to partner with such a research agency contact Square Holes. This may be an on the ground partner in Australia or, for those with different time zones, a virtual creative research agency working while you are asleep.”
