As founder of Insight Narrator\, she was included in the Twenty Women in Data and Tech in 2023. She was also listed in the ESOMAR Insight250 in 2021 as a global innovator in market research\, data-driven marketing and insights and speaks regularly at conferences around the world on the value of insight. \n  \nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/carolineflorence/

SUMMARY:ICG Summer Party (with an arty twist) 2024
DESCRIPTION:Generously sponsored by Rigour Research and Qualzy\, with first drinks from Field Notes.  \nProudly bringing you this year’s Summer Party – with an arty twist! \nWhat is this ‘arty twist?’ \nAs something a little different\, we’d like to invite people to embrace their artistic side. \nSo much of our work can feel functional – from the practicalities of arranging fieldwork\, to template-style objectives\, to a general client expectation/industry culture that makes originality and flair in how we communicate findings feel “risky”. \nAnd yet there’s clearly great creativity – and beauty – in how we think and the subjects of the work we do. \nWe’re proposing that at the party we have an area where people can display something relating to their work as a piece of art. This is likely to be space on tables rather than on easels\, but if you’re up for something ambitious then so are we! \nThe idea is that the exhibition is something people can wander round and peruse at their leisure – not something that has to be “manned” all evening whilst everybody else is having fun. \nThe art/object(s) could be ANYTHING (so long as it isn’t breaching any privacy/GDPR rules): \n\nMaybe a notepad containing (non-sensitive) notes or sketches?\nA picture of a sunset taken through the window of a viewing facility?\nOr a redacted first invoice you ever sent?\nPerhaps you want to pop a few watercolours on a canvas to visualise your feelings when clients ghost you?\nYour chipped mug stained with a thousand coffees?\nA framed picture of the product in store that YOU were responsible for bringing to market?\nA data visualisation you’re obsessed with?\nA sketch depicting the most random thing a respondent has said?\nAnd so on and so forth…\n\nIf doing this sounds sooooo YOU\, then we’d like to ask a few things: \n1) That you let us know – so we can keep track of numbers\, not because we want to vet anything!\n2) That each thing you submit has a “title” and 200-word-max description which you can print and bring along to explain your object. \nWe hope this is an opportunity for people to share with each other and find the joy in what we do. \nBook your tickets here\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:ICG Member Book Group: 'The Status Game' by Will Storr
DESCRIPTION:the ICG’s Book Group is designed to give members a flavour of a range of books that other members value and encourage others to read and discuss them. \nEach session will be led by an ICG member who’ll talk briefly about the content of the book they’ve chosen\, why they chose it\, and how they interpret and feel about it.  \nWe’ll then open the session up to others to contribute their own thoughts. You don’t have to have read the book being discussed to attend the session\, but we encourage as many of you as possible to do so. \n\nThis session will be led by Kath Rhodes\, Qual Street\, and will be about ‘The Status Game: On Social Position And How We Use It’ by Will Storr. \nThe book explores the different ways people get/ give status to each other.  For anyone interested in group dynamics and cultural shifts\, this is a worth a read. \n \nNo need to pre-register for these sessions. Login is https://zoom.us/j/94544936426 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Members' Online Speed Networking
DESCRIPTION:Many of you attended our previous Online Speed Networking events over the last few years. \nWe now bring you another one – with improved slick-ness and finesse! \nA great opportunity to spend 15 mins at a time with other ICG members\, informally chatting about what you do and who you are. \nWe would encourage you to treat this lightly – no hard sells please – but instead\, be open to meeting other independents. \nIt goes without saying but a reminder nevertheless – be mindful of the time in each session and give everyone an equal opportunity to speak. \nYou never know who you’ll end up working with – or even forming a friendship –  on the back of it. \nWe’ve purposefully set this for lunchtime\, so grab a sandwich and log in. \nRegister for this event here \nHURRY\, ONLY 25 PLACES \n
