Client case studies

engaging underserved audiences

focus groups
How consumer research helped a leading US broadcaster reimagine science programming.

client challenge​

  • Our client, a leading public broadcaster, wanted to increase engagement of their science-based content, especially among women, Black and Hispanic audiences. 
  • They wanted to understand what content and delivery methods would be most meaningful to these audience segments.  

decision point approach​

  • Through the discovery process, we learned what had been done in the past to engage these audiences, what worked, what didn’t, and why.  
  • We then conducted focus groups with members of each audience segment to gain their perspective.  
  • The focus group discussions were designed to better understand: 
    • Perceptions and associations with STEM content. 
    • If / where they currently found STEM content. 
    • Types of STEM content they found interesting and why. 
    • How they preferred to see themselves represented in the content. 
    • Reaction to specific content clips from our client. 

impactful solutions

  • We identified clear guidelines for content for each target audience – including what NOT to do.  
  • We also identified partnerships and promotions that would be attractive and compelling to each group. 

client success​

  • Our client turned the findings into a comprehensive guide for creating STEM content for these audiences.
  • The guide is used nationwide across the company.
