Ethnography

What is digital ethnography?

Ethnography – or immersion – is the study of people in a real-world environment. It essentially turns market research as we know it inside out: instead of bringing the participant to the researchers, researchers go to the participant and observe them in their own environment. Thanks to today’s technology, this can include the collation of videos, photos and other observational techniques over an extended period of time, enabling you to really get to know why your participants think and behave the way they do.
