What We Did

  • Started with 9 countries in 2021, purely quantitative and behavioral segmentation with N=13,567.
  • Added QualAI for stimuli testing and lifestyle understanding, deepening segment profiles beyond behavior.
  • Expanded continuously to 30 countries over 4 years, driven by client enthusiasm and proven ROI.

Business Outcomes

  • Built a living segmentation system enhanced by quant and QualAI lifestyle insights.
  • Enabled audience retargeting across multiple projects without a standalone panel.
  • The brand now applies segmentation not just for product innovation but for campaign targeting and activation.
  • AI-generated personas are used in workshops to make decisions.
