Combining methodologies to gain unique insights
In ethnography we often combine observation with other methods to gain insight into the lifestyle and attitudes that form the Chinese way of life.
Cultural insight based on understanding of China’s history
At Psyma China we look beyond the obvious. More than 50 years of research have taught us to look for the reasons why people think, act or behave in a certain way. Ethnographic research provides answers to those questions.
Solid analysis that leads to innovative results
Psyma China’s teams consist of experts who find patterns in the mass of rich and often visual data that we collect in ethnographic studies. Psyma’s specialists then adapt these patterns to find room for new products or innovative ways to communicate product benefits.
Market research is an essential tool to prepare a successful and individualized marketing strategy for China. Psyma, with its local experience, is your partner in China. We are a member of ESOMAR and EphMRA and adhere to the high quality standards set forth by the ESOMAR code of conduct.
