Writing exercise

Two years ago,I have been invited to act as a moderator in a focus group. The experience was quite fun and unforgettable because it was my first time and the process is so interesting. I worked with a professional researching team from the beginning to end. At the beginning, when we received the brief, we started to source the target consumer and prepared the questionnaire base on the brief content. After that, we had a deep discussion with the attendees and try to find out the insight via our conversation. The topic is about fashion and trend, so we explore our thinking to make the atmosphere relax and funny, for example: tired on some outfits, have a drink, sing a song to express the opinion, tell something that you feel fun,etc. The attendees were surprised about the mechanism and willing to talk obsessively. So finally, we can run a report with different angle and thoughts,it is a successful trial

So finally, we could run a report from different perspectives and viewpoints / points of view, and for me it was a successful trial.
