Back from the Advanced Semiotics Course

E-mail Print PDF

Update from London, having just completed the MRS's Advanced Semiotics course, run by Malcolm Evans.
The course was a great refresher and reminder that we can do so much with this really useful discipline.  Semiotics gives us the conceptual tools and language to help us analyse how our culture influences and shapes people's behaviour - including predicting future behaviour. 

The outcome for the client is a cultural map which defines the 'now' and the 'what might be'.
Gill Erault also demonstrated the semiotics of language, equipping us with tools for analysing all forms of business communication.

Specialist Skills

E-mail Print PDF

Our skill set falls into three main areas:

1. Anything to do with language: Internal and external communications testing. Compliance document testing. Writing strategic narratives

2. The industries we know a lot about - especially financial services, professional services, kids stuff and food, B2B and consumer.

3. Combining a cultural perspective with an understanding of individual psychology.  People buy products and services because of the culture they live in and because of their own psychological make-up.

Who we are

E-mail Print PDF

Susan Bell Research is an Australian market and social research agency with a strong service ethic.  We build inclusive relationships with our clients, to help us to deliver the impartial strategic research our clients expect from us.

I am the principal.  I work on every project, sometimes alone and sometimes with carefully-selected highly-experienced researchers, as the project requires. 

 We bring a strong social-science focus to our work, especially linguistics and psychology, and blend that with an understanding of contemporary commercial and regulatory management and marketing issues.
