The Big Village Difference
Strategic
With Big Village’s Digital Hives and Online Communities, you are not only getting rich, emotional, actionable consumer insights in real time, but also enjoying the benefits of collaborating with a boutique consultancy. Our personalized “all-hands on deck” approach to research gives you access to senior-level expertise at every step of your project; something you often can’t find at larger companies. Our Digital Hives and Online Communities team also leverages in-house experts with decades-long hands-on experience in your vertical, so you’ll have confidence that we understand deeply the challenges and opportunities your industry faces.
Authentic
We recognize that an online community is only as good as its members. Our Digital Hives team is laser-focused on member quality, making sure every member is a real human being, is appropriate to the study, and is engaging at high levels. This commitment to ensuring member quality goes from how we recruit your online community members, to the technologies we use to engage with them, to the very important human eye. Every Hive has a team member reading every single response (and there are thousands!) and removing *anyone* responding inappropriately, superficially or in a suspect way. We’re constantly evaluating our members to make sure they’re the right fit for you. No bots here.
Human
We also know that consumer honesty, authenticity, emotional depth, and thoughtfulness is paramount to ensuring insights that enable your business to effect change. This means giving every member the opportunity to share their stories at length and bring you into their lives in meaningful ways. Our best in class, mobile-enabled community technology features tasks that allow members to leverage speech to text, video, photo collaging, screen recording with voiceover and more, so that you can meet people where they are. Every video and audio interaction on our platform is automatically transcribed, so that every utterance is captured in the written record of the community for text analytics, analysis, verbatims, and montage creation.
The goal of every Hive:
For you to intimately understand what your consumers need and want, wish and hope—so that your brand is central to their life stories.
