Incorporating empathetic survey techniques and priming respondents with a narrative to inspire their thinking resulted in a more accurate picture of how consumers engage with media and entertainment, across the globe. It also generated a more positive survey experience overall for respondents.
At the conclusion of the survey, when asked how much they enjoyed the experience, 74% of the empathetic survey respondents rated it "very enjoyable," compared to 70% of those who completed the traditional survey. This was even more apparent in the US market, where 63% rated the traditional survey highly compared to 71% for empathetic.

A single action doesn’t define a panellist - there’s a whole story to tell.
This is why Profiles’ proprietary anti-fraud technology, Qubed AI, uses advanced machine learning and data from a respondent’s full history to detect fraud.
And it’s the only technology capable of detecting increasingly sophisticated international hackers.
Brands funnel a significant portion of their insights budget towards market research driven by panel data.
Unfortunately, dishonest people will try to cheat the panel system to earn rewards, either by providing disingenuous information or intentionally hacking surveys.
This means research data can be unknowingly spoiled by survey fraud, resulting in misinformed decisions.
