Interviews

To understand how UX people do user research and whether there are any associated painpoints.
We conducted 7 contextual interviews with various people working in a UX role at a product/UX agency. This illuminated many painpoints as well as areas that are not necessarily perceived as too difficult.
Customer/market learnings
Recruitment of low-LSM consumers are hard to acquire at scale (efficiently) - 3/7 people
Running surveys is something people often don’t do as a research technique because of the difficulty in surveying the right audience - 3/7 people
The marketing/advertising segment could be the best or highest business value customer segment
The accuracy of the data and verification of people is crucially important to people - 5/7 people listed

Notes

Every interviewee asked about the verifiability, accuracy and identity assuredness we had about our panel.
Large marketing/advertising companies are possibly the best customer segment in terms of value
There are opposing views of user interviews and digital surveys
Do we position as a survey or user interview recruiting product, or both?
A noticeable painpoint for UXers was their ability to access/recruit the right people.
