Generative AI can't replace humans in gathering sensitive qualitative data (at least not yet), but it can significantly speed processing and extracting insights at scale.
The University of Arizona worked with Convince & Convert to launch an evergreen campaign for students and staff. The campaign needed to resonate emotionally, drive awareness, and be prescriptive without being annoying or pushy. Time was also of the essence as registration had a hard deadline.
Using closed-source generative AI, we were able to not only perform a virtual focus group to collect data on values and attitudes about campus life but we were able to establish core messaging themes essential to creating a resonant campaign. We not only collected qualitative data, but we were able to parse it 230x faster using generative AI tools vs. regular processing methods, allowing for stronger validation and the ability for the campaign to launch 4+ weeks faster.
