Netnography: Overview and How to (Schulich School of Business, MBA class, Social Media Marketing by Robert Kozinets) + The Presentation Video on Slide 35
This is a slide deck used for 'Netnography: Overview & How-to' presentation on Feb. 15, 2012. The presentation (watch the YouTube video below) was a part of the class assignments for "Social Media Marketing" class taught by Robert Kozinets at Schulich School of Business, York University. In this presentation, topics such as why netnography is useful for marketing research and what the researchers have to keep in mind are explored with some specific examples.
The video on the first slide is a teaser for this presentation.

2. We will help you understandâŚ
AGENDA
ď¨ What is ânetnographyâ
ď¨ How great it is
ď¨ How it works
ď¨ Our first netnography experience
ď¨ Takeaways
3. What is ânetnographyâ
Internet + Ethnography
Ethnography
⢠Understand culture of
a community
⢠Qualitative method
⢠Field study
(Wikipedia)
4. How does Ethnography work?
Planning Where to go? How long?
Learn culture/
EntrĂŠe Know the players rituals
Data Observation
Interview/
Collection Questionnaire
Analysis Skills Experience
Reporting Academic Conference
5. Ethnography for Marketing Research
ď¨ Knowing consumer culture provides insights aboutâŚ
⢠Why people buy (Needs)
⢠How people like us (Brand perception)
⢠Who customers are (Segments)
⢠Why people choose us (Competition)
⢠How people respond to our ads (ROI)
Great hints for better
managerial decisions
6. Ethnography vs Well-known methods
Well-known methods Ethnography
ďą Artificial ďą Natural
ďą Outsider observation ďą Immersive
ďą Mostly numeric data ďą Descriptive
ďą 1 perspective/time ďą Multi-method
ďą Adaptable
A window into the realities: In-depth insight
7. Netnography: Online Ethnography
ď¨ Technology makes ethnographyâŚ
⢠More cost-effective
⢠Less painstaking (automatically logged)
⢠Less obtrusive (more natural)
⢠Less time-consuming (geography)
⢠Accessible to various groups
⢠Able to observe the past

9. Planning EntrĂŠe Data Analysis Reporting
Collection
Example Case: Listerine
ď¨ Objective : Identify Listerineâs brand personality
ď¨ Key Question : Where Listerine consumers gather?

ď¨ Target Group : Blogs such as Lost in Laundry
10. Planning EntrĂŠe Data Analysis Reporting
Collection
ď¨ You need toâŚ
⢠Know the culture of the community
⢠Behave as a community member
⢠Be accepted/credited by the community
ď¨ Donât forget thatâŚ
⢠This is not an interrogation
⢠Someone might have done the same research
⢠The community knows much more than you do

13. Planning EntrĂŠe Data Analysis Reporting
Collection
ď¨ Communication with members, not the website
⢠Copy from pre-existing communications
Archival ⢠Cultural baseline info
Data ⢠Copy & Paste or Archival Software e.g. Quotations
⢠Filter data by direct communications
Elicited ⢠Objective-related info,
Data ⢠Communal Interaction (postings) or Interviews (e-mail)
e.g. Answer to specific questions
⢠Record what you sensed/felt during the online experience
Fieldnote ⢠Deeper insight into the culture,
Data ⢠Note-taking e.g. Context (shocked by an event)

Archival Data Example: Listerine
ď¨ âGenerally, the idea of Listerine gives me the shivers. I think of the old school
original flavor that my grandpa used to use and want to run screaming.â
ď¨ âGrandpa always made me gargle with Listerine when I had a little cough or
cold. Grandpa soaked his feet in Listerine. Coming up close for a hug, my
Grandpa would always have the slight lingering scent of Listerine about him. â
⢠The brand is rooted in nostalgia
⢠Implications about limitations and
opportunities (such as new geriatric lines).

Elicited Data Example: Why people like Star trek
⢠Star Trek âwas the symbol of a world where there was no racism, poverty,
deformity, idiotic nationalism, or political injustice ⌠we fen [plural for fan]
have put much of our energy into it, and into making the world a little more
like the Federation which we admire so muchâ (eâmail interview).
⢠âAt its simplest, what Star Trek means to meâand, I think, to many fansâis
possibility. ⌠People do want to live in the Trek universeâ (eâmail interview).
⢠Utopian nature is the reason
⢠âFenâ implies established
culture of this community

Fieldnote Example: coffee connoisseur community
⢠ââŚI kept observational fieldnotes about my changing
coffee habits, about conversations and meals at friendsâ
and familiesâ homes, about my shopping ventures, about
my trips to StarbucksâŚâ
⢠âData about the effect that the community had on my
entire social experienceâŚâ Rob Kozinets
⢠Now you know the needs &
wants of the target segment
⢠You became a part of it

27. Next Step
ď¨ âThere are lies, damn lies and statisticsâ
ď¨ Questionnaires for qualitative analysis
ď¤ Q1. Motivation for posting/ replying
ď¤ Q2. What kind of contents you are likely to post or
reply to
ď¤ Q3. What would motivate you to post/reply more.
28. Sample Archival Data Analysis (SMM)
ď¨ Our guest today mentioned Don Tapscott - CBC Radio 1 has
broadcast 3 of a 4 part series, with the 4th next Sunday. All
available as podcasts
ď¨ Linking the in-class activity with external resource. This post
provides the additional learning opportunity and resource for
other students
29. Sample Elicited Data Analysis (SMM)
ď¨ A1 (motivation to post). I like to voice my opinion and engage
in a debate with my peers on certain topics. Plus we also
receive class participation marks for posting.
ď¨ A2 (content). I like to reply to controversial topics the most.
ď¨ A3 (motivation to post more). If more of my classmates replied
to my posts to further debate. And if some of the topics posted
were more controversial.
ď¨ Controversial topic gets people interacting. Class-participation
mark is the incentive but getting more people involved would
generate the true motivation the peer-learning and interaction.
31. Conclusion
Research Experience
⢠Being an anonymous is challenging for conducting
netnography research (lack of responce)
⢠Selection process (for identifying targets) takes time
⢠Need guidance and tools to stay objective
Learning Experience
⢠The mixed use of qualitative vs quantitative: one gets the
direction and another helps exploring the depth
⢠Itâs fun and the observation is extensive, because there are
different angles to take and response extends the learning
