Feelings matter – they drive community insights, purchasing journeys, brand & communication strategies
Ranger Station (Venture Out)
1:30pm-2:30pm
During the height of the pandemic, when mental health concerns were highest – we discovered that those who identified as living an outdoor adventurer lifestyle were managing better than all the rest! While technologists found themselves anxious and depressed, those who were getting outside, doing what they loved were more comfortable, hopeful, joyful and maintained their hobbies. Our fascinating research not only compares lifestyles/personas, but also the added value of emotional context. These insights are game changers for understanding a brands community, how a brand should communicate best, and their overall strategy. Our customers and partners leverage this knowledge to develop meaningful relationships that are more like friendships that last a lifetime with their communities/customers and we can’t wait to share more insights with you!
