We are delighted to share the fourth issue of the People’s Insights Quarterly Magazine with you.
The People’s Insights Quarterly Magazine pulls together insights from MSLGROUP’s Insights Network — a private network created on our proprietary People’s Lab crowdsourcing platform — in which 100+ planners within MSLGROUP share and discuss thought-provoking research and inspiring projects in the areas of social data, crowdsourcing, storytelling and citizenship.
Every week, we pick one project from the MSLGROUP Insights Network and curate conversations around it — on the network itself but also on the social web — into a weekly insights report. Every quarter, we present the thirteen insights reports to you, along with original research from our global network, as an online magazine.
People’s Insights Quarterly Magazine, Volume 1, Issue 4
In previous issues of the magazine, we have showcased original research and thinking from our network on purpose-inspired transmedia storytelling, the transformation of healthcare in Europe, and the role of social media in how food brands are perceived and how moms make food decisions. In this issue, we share two original research reports: MSL Seattle on snacking conversations in the United States and 2020 MSL on the perceptions of technology brands amongst Indian bloggers.
