understanding consumer reaction to new privacy software
Challenge
The client develops security software for Internet users. The company needed to understand more about users' security concerns, and about how its product advertising might best address those concerns.

Strategy
The Strategic Counsel conducted qualitative research through focus groups in Toronto and Boston. The groups were structured as triads, with three respondents in each, and three approaches to advertising creative were tested at each session. The triad structure permitted more detailed probing of responses to communications materials.

Results
The findings gave the company data to clarify its communications on privacy issues, as well as information that helped it modify the creative and maximize the value of its successful first marketing campaign.
