Process

Our first ever online community project saw us collaborating with Google on a netnography brief. Working with 150 teens over 3 months, the aim was to really get under the skin of teenagers and understand their online habits. Using a combination of written, visual, video and online focus group tasks we explored every aspect of online behaviour. This methodology allowed the Google product and insight team to immerse themselves in the online lives of teens.

Output

The community revealed that search habits amongst the teen market are very different to older internet users. This resulted in Google launching a new iGoogle product, creating a school outreach program and directly shaping future search strategy.
