Content Moments Segmentation: Building Campaigns that Resonate with Consumers

How do you build meaningful connections with your consumers? What elements within the content resonates with consumers more? This out-of-the-box research helps us look beyond the content consumers consume and connect with what drives them to it in the first place allowing marketers to create more effective content by aligning with specific motivations.

Our new global research study explores over 55,000 consumer interactions with online content to better understand their motivations. Our approach will provide stronger insight into the "why behind "what" you see from standard digital analytic tools.
