ethnographies?

Someone's got in touch to find out if there's a research company or someone out there who can help with a project like this:

"We are looking to find a company/group of people that can help us conduct some self-directed ethnographies. Ideally, we would like to create these ethnographies online in a blog (or similar) format to start. From there we will follow up with some face to face video ethnography work. Finally, we need to be able to conduct this project globally, (North America, South America, Europe and Asia). Help!"

I suggested OIA, but they weren't convinced. So if anyone's done something like this before and wants to do it again for a global brand in a hurry please leave info in the comments or email me and I'll pass your details on.

GfK are a global research company that specialise in globally coordinated ethnographic research, with experience in using blogs and other online tools to enable self-directed ethnography. [email protected]

I know some people who can do [and do do - so to speak] this sort of thing BRILLIANTLY throughout Asia - but I don't know if they want one single company to handle it Worldwide.

Eitherway, they can contact me at [email protected] if they are interested. [not to mention explain a bit more about what they want to do and why they want to do it]

I recently created a website with an integrated moblog for 2CV Research (www.2cv.co.uk). They are a well established and successful global research company with a dedicated ethnographic studies team. The moblog allows research respondents to create image and text based diaries. They also have previous experience in conducting studies using SMS response. They're a lovely bunch of people to boot!

Hey,

We recently ran a similar project for Philips where the respondents wrote in their own blogs about what it was like to be a guy today - i.e. gauge their views on Modern Masculinity.
