MRS Awards Case Studies

Research and the insight from the evidence it creates changes everything; from design to implementation of advertising, communication, products and public policy and much more. Our #ResearchInside campaign highlights a few of brilliant and innvoative ways where research makes a difference.
There are so many great case studies from research demonstrating the impact that we have on design and decision making both in the commercial and public sectors. We want to celebrate this impact and share the message widely to demonstrate the range and variety of products, policies and communication where research and the insights it generates has made a real difference.

The campaign which resulted from this research gained a lot of traction in the marketing sector and beyond, winning awards including at Cannes Film Lions, and we’re keen to demonstrate research’s role in creating McDonald’s most popular campaign ever.

This award clearly demonstrates the positive social impact research can have, with the research – including surveys and interviews with delivery partners and families – resulting in BookTrust transforming its approach to its early years offer and how it engages low-income or vulnerable families to effect behaviour change around reading.
This project underscores the potential of combining technology with human analysis – an important objective for MRS’ communications objectives this year – to deliver commercial results. The research improved experiences for both fans and sponsors and in a way which was bespoke for each venue.
We want to showcase the importance of research within B2B, and the Prologis whitepaper is a good example of where research has opened conversations for the company with government and the wider industry to break down preconceptions around the sector and illustrate the opportunities and challenges it faces. It is also being used to attract talent to the sector, which brings another angle to the benefits of the project.
