We held a preview for the focus group where they gave final feed back on
How successful we had created expected C and Cs?
How well we had engaged TA, met expectations and related to their aspirations.
How our characters where being represented

Feed back told us that.........
we managed to make some small final changes ......
we where unable legalistically to accommodate some changes because.......
We feel that in terms off gratifications we can clearly see from feed back that.......
fulfilling pleasure needs - voyeuristic and visceral
