How	we’ve	used	Transcripts	for	gathering	insights	
Sephora	“How	to”	content	
	
Goal	
Understand	people’s	reacMon	to	
concept	and	content	
	
Deliverable	
Create	a	few	compelling	highlight	
reels	related	to	first	impressions
Our	approach	
Create	test	plan	based	
off	exisMng	templates	
Launch	study	and	
review	dry	run	ader	
first	video	ready	
Launch	remaining	
sessions	&	accelerate	
analysis	with	
transcripts
Launched	a	study,	sessions	filled	in	2	hours	or	less	
Used	first	impressions	template
Looking	for	insight	w/assistance	from	transcripts	
	
	
	
	
10	parMcipants	=	3.5	hours	of	video	
	
Before	transcripts:	Watch	videos	
start	to	end	looking	for	compelling	
quotes	and	behaviors		
Time	required:	~4	hours	
	
A:er	transcripts:	Scan	transcripts	for	
relevant	senMment	and	watch	those	
moments	
Time	required:	~1	hour
We	are	NOT	suggesMng	to	read	transcripts	instead	
of	watching	videos.		
	
	
	
	
Transcripts	are	an	aid	to	get	to	insights	faster.
