There are three types of semiotics research:

1. Desk-based semiotic analysis of cultural values and brand positioning - conducted solo, or integrated into qualitative research
2. Micro-level semiotic analysis of individual texts - such as ads, brochures or packs  - to reveal 'how they mean'
3. Semiotic analysis of qualitative research transcripts, or other secondary data, to reveal  the cultural categories which shape consumer behaviour.

Susan Bell Research specialises in communications research - for any kind of internal or external communications, such as documentation or packaging.  This research could be:

• Exploratory qualitative research on how people use communication material
• Small scale field testing, user testing, and readability testing
• Before and after measurement
• Ongoing tracking studies to measure the impact of communication improvements
• Semiotic research
