 Ethnography is all the rage in marketing circles, but ethnographic research specifically geared toward inspiring strategic brand design has made little headway, even though its has tremendous potential to unlock important insights into the consumer mindset.
Perhaps it lags because brand management believes it has the knowledge needed to create effective packaging, so why bear the expense? But when we talk to clients, we find that, although they understand the broad market implications, they lack the intimate details of product purchase style and usage habits that inform successful packaging and product design.
By using ethnographic research, brand managers can "get closer to their brands" and gain a better understanding of the strategic opportunities. The Sterling Group approach to ethnographic studies of consumers as they shop and interact with brands elicits insights that inspire design solutions that connect with consumers.
An understanding of the "Cultural Context" in which design lives, the consumer's sensibilities to design in their daily life, and the role brand design plays beyond the shopping experience, provides a powerful strategic tool.

 Artcity Festival is a celebration of contemporary visual art, architecture and design, held every September in Calgary, Canada.
Artcity opens possibilities for conversations, debates and realizations about how and what artists, architects and designers do and how they see and shape the world around us.
In 2005, Artcity Festival will explore the idea and concepts associated with the term "Trans".
Artcity Festival encourages you to become involved in the 2005 city-wide festival by submitting graphic and interactive design work to our competition.
In keeping with this year's theme for Artcity of TRANS, the competition is for designers working in a transdisciplinary way.
Relevant graphic and interactive designers are opening up new spaces between design and art, science, commerce, politics, the printed page, and the interactive screen.
A trans-disciplinary approach toward communication is borne of an increasingly sophisticated definition of "information".
Whether it is the informational riot to be found on CNN, or the scientific visualization of molecules, visual design is charged with offering us a peculiar kind of complex clarity: language, performance, maps, composition, art and knowledge all intersect to form this contemporary discipline.
