Market Research

Identifying market-related questions that need to be answered as part of Mozilla's planning efforts. Locating data and research sources to address these needs, managing subsequent acquisitions. Margaret Schroeder is the Engagement lead and can be reached at mschroeder@mozilla.com.

Margaret is also collaborating with Diane Loviglio and Cori Schauer, of Mozilla User Research, who are launching a Q3 study in Brazil with a consulting partner. Focus will be on a user experience strategy for B2G.

Current Wish List for community help: 1) Translation of articles from Portuguese to English within 24 hours (doesn't need to be perfect; volume not expected to be heavy) 2) Weekly monitoring of Brazilian developer online resources (eg. blogs, web sites) to identify points of interest to Mozilla 3) List of top 5+ smartphones of interest to Brazilians upgrading from feature phones

User Experience Research

Cori Schauer and Diane Loviglio will be conducting fieldwork in Sao Paulo and Recife during the week of July 30 - August 6. They will conduct 12 in-home interviews with C-Class people with the goals to

- gain deeper understanding of the class C, early 20 something Brazilian. How do they feel about mobile devices and communicating with others? What is the role of the mobile device(s) in the lives of these individuals? What other objects do they desire? Which of those objects are attainable versus not for them and why?

- define what “Smart Lite” means to this group. What features are most important? What expectations do they have for the phone? What accessories do they want/need?

Once the research is collected, we expect to create the following deliverables by the end of August: - user profiles - user experience strategy for B2G focusing on what users want/need for categories such as apps/content, phone accessories, payments/billing, etc. - project room open houses to explore the data we collected

The team will be working with Sylver Consulting,a design research and strategy company with offices in Chicago and Brasilia.
