Challenge

Technological advancements, shifting consumer behaviours, and evolving societal trends are transforming entertainment, reshaping how content is created, distributed, and consumed.

Virgin Media O2 (VMO2), one of the UK’s largest telecoms companies, needed deep insights into consumer motivations, preferences, and pain points across the entertainment landscape. This understanding was essential to align their strategies with customer preferences and uncover new opportunities. However, they faced a critical challenge: Traditional surveys require researchers to pre-program answer options, which can introduce bias regarding which options to include and lead to less candid responses. This jeopardised the capture of authentic customer insights.
