On this latest episode of Now that’s Significant, a Market Research Podcast, host Michael Howard (the head of marketing at Infotools) joined by Tricia Houston, COO and Founder of The ExperienceBuilt Group.
Tricia, a travel-worn experiential marketer, classically trained market researcher, and challenger of the status-quo, founded The ExperienceBuilt Group (EBG) to help organizations create experiences worth repeating. Under Tricia's leadership, the team at EBG helps organizations imagine new solutions, improve current ones, and implement programs to close experience gaps (B2B & B2C).
On the episode, Tricia and Michael discussed a market researcher's ability to connect, to be connectors, to help organizations discover the right key that opens the right lock at the right time.
Three ways that insights teams can help their organizations connect are helping stakeholders to think like customers and employees, perfect people relationships and removing friction, and aligning everyone to a forward facing plan that ignites people into action.
We talked about the need to avoid creating yet another "Grey SUV" - the trap people often fall into when creating new initiatives, which is following the pack rather than delivering new experiences, products, or services that are unique and worth repeating.
There's plenty more in there too. So we hope you enjoy the show.
