Audience Profiling (Digital)
Build a detailed picture of your ideal or actual consumers—who they are, what motivates them, and how best to reach them.
Great products start with a deep understanding of the people you’re building them for. You can leverage Highlight to build a rich, data-driven picture of your ideal or actual consumer — covering who they are, what drives their decisions, and where to find and engage them. Using a quantitative evaluation with a mix of demographic, psychographic, attitudinal, and behavioral questions, teams walk away with the clarity they need to target, position, and innovate with confidence.
