However, it will take a longer time period to get everything sorted and completed.

Road safety computer game brief

How would you complete market research for this brief? For the market research I would run a focus group. A focus group containing children between the ages of 6  to 10 as that is the target market of the age group the company is looking at. I feel this would be the best method seeing as they are children it would suit their age group. As well as it would make sense to hand them loads of different computer games to see and through watching them see which they drift towards and catch their eyes. Through this I will be able to se their hobby and similarities .

Audience research

Who can do/does audience research? When should audience research be done? Why should audience research be completed? What research methods can be used? Realistically anyone can research audiences. However, depending on your constraints and how much money and time you have is if you can afford to hire digital marketers and communicators which would cost money.
