Scott DodgsonScott DodgsonDirector - Research, Insight, Consulting, SKOPOS market insightDirector - Research, Insight, Consulting, SKOPOS market insightEver since his first experiences with the humble ZX81 back in the early eighties, Scott has been fascinated by technology, and its various applications. Over recent years, he has been absorbed by understanding how consumers interact within the digital space - the convergence and connectivity between network platforms, technologies and digital media; and in providing clients with actionable information on the emerging, and evolving, opportunities and challenges this presents.
Scott’s core expertise lies in the digital, retail and technology worlds, and in helping clients from within these sectors gain a better understanding of the perceptions and behaviours of the connected shopper in their digital and non digital ecosystems. Over the years he has helped to realise projects for a wide range of clients across consumer and B2B markets, including: Bank of America, ghd, McDonald’s, Genworth Financial, Coca Cola, Royal Mail, DHL and many more.
Paula JusonPaula JusonDirector - Research, Insight, Consulting, SKOPOS market insightDirector - Research, Insight, Consulting, SKOPOS market insightPaula is an expert in the field of online qualitative communities, i-forums and ethnographic f2f / video studies - running alongside the more traditional quantitative methodologies. She views mobile research as a powerful augmentation tool that can deliver, not just ‘in-the-moment’, but ‘in-the-emotion’, feedback – helping to provide ‘real’ consumer illumination.
Over the last 15 years she has conducted research across a wide range of sectors and genres, helping clients such as Yahoo!, William Hill, Tesco, Halfords, O2, 888.com, Asda, etc. with their research needs. This has included customer experience optimisation (across digital and non digital channels); ideation & proposition development; as well as various U&A studies - incorporating behavioural segmentation.
