How to enhance the respondent experience By Christine Caggia Askiadesign, Askiafield 11th September 2020 ShareFacebookLinkedInTwitter Let’s face it – there are still way too many boring questionnaires around. They can take so long to complete – some make Tolstoy’s War & Peace look like a tweet! These types of surveys can lose a respondent to our industry for months, if not years. We all know this.

Talkin’ bots an’ revolution By Jérôme Sopoçko Askiadesign, Askiafield 27th November 2019 ShareFacebookLinkedInTwitter A visit to the ESOMAR congress is a sure way to know what’s the next fad or major shift in Market Research.
