Mobile diaries help to understand the daily lives of people in great detail, making it possible to capture the crucial “moment of truth”.

A typical mobile diary is made up of pre study, one or two week diary and post study. During the diary period respondents record their reactions and responses to your brand communications the very moment they encounter them.
