CATI recruitment + Online focus groups
This study explored how a national charity’s branding and messaging were perceived across three distinct audience groups: active supporters, those aware but not engaged, and people unfamiliar with the organisation. Six online focus groups were delivered, each carefully balanced by age, gender and socio-economic background, with participants recruited via telephone.
Given the reliance on live group attendance, respondent engagement was critical. A structured confirmation process was used, including follow-up calls and response-based reminders, alongside a reserve pool of standby participants to manage last-minute drop-out. Fieldwork was completed within 18 days, delivering full groups throughout. The final output provided clear, comparative insight across awareness levels, grounded in well-balanced public voices.
