And I'm so happy to be here and meeting people in person again and having lunch live, not over Zoom. [00:00:21] Jamin Brazil: Even though it was outside, a little warm. [00:00:24] Danielle Blugrind: Yeah. So the whole morning, I was freezing, and then I went outside and was burning up at lunch. But that's OK. [00:00:28] Jamin Brazil: That's right.

[00:00:37] Danielle Blugrind: People that I have been talking to over Zoom for a year and a half that I'm actually seeing face-to-face has been wonderful.

Jamin Brazil: Hey, everybody. Thanks for joining me today. I am here with Danielle Blugrind. Roku is the company that she works for. How are you doing?
[00:00:11]
Danielle Blugrind: I am great. Having a good time at SampleCon, how are you?
[00:00:13]
Jamin Brazil: I'm doing great. This is our first live event since COVID.
[00:00:15]
Danielle Blugrind: I know. And I'm so happy to be here and meeting people in person again and having lunch live, not over Zoom.
[00:00:21]
Jamin Brazil: Even though it was outside, a little warm.
[00:00:24]
Danielle Blugrind: Yeah. So the whole morning, I was freezing, and then I went outside and was burning up at lunch. But that's OK.
[00:00:28]
Jamin Brazil: That's right.
[00:00:29]
Danielle Blugrind: That's conference rooms for you.
[00:00:30]
Jamin Brazil: That's totally true. So you're at SampleCon, what do you want to get out of it besides, obviously, human connection.
[00:00:35]
Danielle Blugrind: Yeah. Well, that's the first thing, right?
[00:00:37]
Jamin Brazil: Yeah.
[00:00:37]
Danielle Blugrind: People that I have been talking to over Zoom for a year and a half that I'm actually seeing face-to-face has been wonderful. I think I appreciate it more than I would have just any other conference if we hadn't had that gap where we didn't have face-to-face with people.
[00:00:49]
Jamin Brazil: Hundred percent.
[00:00:50]
Danielle Blugrind: I want to contribute, so I'm going to join a panel this afternoon talking about whether things are qual, quant, or whether it matters, and how they're blending together. But, also, just talking to other people about some of the conversations that have happened this morning about respondent quality and data quality but survey quality too. Those three right now are kind of swirling around in my head and I'm looking for some better quality in some places. But I want to understand how I reach out for that versus how I control it myself too.
[00:01:20]
Jamin Brazil: It's so interesting. As the designer of the survey instrument, you have a lot of control over that participant experience. But what you don't have- There's this whole idea of, what is a true LOI? So my- The question is, how long does it take a participant to navigate to get qualified to your survey and then take it. So you could add three to 15 minutes on which, obviously, can have a direct impact. But, then, also, the way that the survey's designed has an impact on the overall engagement.
[00:01:47]
Danielle Blugrind: Right. And, so, I'm looking at, what is my role? How can I help? How can I help them have an experience that might be longer than they desire, but doesn't feel longer. And that's the difference. When I worked at Taco Bell, people always used to give Subway the best points for speed of service. And I said, "Subway's the slowest thing there is."
[00:02:06]
Jamin Brazil: It really is.
[00:02:06]
Danielle Blugrind: That's slower than drive-through. But, you know what? It's all perception, right?
