Abstract. Visual methods have a long history in ethnographic research and ethnographic methods are increasingly used to gain a depth of insight and understanding not achievable with traditional marketing research approaches.hat enables researchers to read cultural experience and interpret visual text is the process of cultural immersion, as per authentic ethnographic research.
