  • Invite you to participate in research
  • Confirm the details of research you have agreed to take part in

Fluent collects research data so that we can:

  • Combine participant views/observations with the views/observations of others who participated in the same research and reported back anonymously to the client that commissioned the study
  • Report on an aggregated basis to determine which groups of people think certain things more than others
  • If you consent to us doing so, Fluent will share video clips and anonymised quotes with our client who commissioned the research for the purposes of sharing the findings.
