In her book “Games and Gamification in Market Research: Increasing Consumer Engagement in Research” Betty Adamou tells us how games and gamification are revolutionizing the market research industry, offering opportunities to reinvigorate the notoriously sluggish engagement levels seen in traditional surveying methods. It is aimed at showing you how to design Research Games and Gamified Surveys that will intrinsically engage participants and how best to use these methodologies to become, and stay, commercially competitive.
In this interview (recorded at the Gamifiers Meetup on Thursday 6th August 2020) Pete Jenkins asks questions to delve deeper into understanding the possibilities and stories that can help us achieve our market research goals through gamification.
