Addressing the Challenges of Traditional Market Research

Traditional market research has been the bedrock of strategic business decisions for decades. However, its effectiveness is often hampered by several critical limitations:

Navigating Privacy Concerns and Data Collection

In an era where user privacy is paramount, the rigorous data protection regulations and growing consumer data privacy concerns pose substantial challenges to collecting meaningful insights, thereby constraining the depth and breadth of data available to businesses.

Engaging Real Consumers

The essence of traditional market research lies in its reliance on real consumer engagement to gather authentic information. This process, albeit valuable, demands significant time, resources, and effort, escalating the logistical and economic hurdles associated with conducting comprehensive market research.

Overcoming Human Bias and Data Validity Issues

The authenticity of market research data is often compromised by participant attention spans and inherent human biases, leading to distortions that can skew the results and impact the decision-making process adversely.

The advent of Generative Artificial Intelligence offers a transformative solution to these challenges, enhancing the quality and relevance of market research outputs and, by extension, the business decisions they inform.

Digital Twins: The Future of Market Research

Digital Twins transcend traditional data analysis, offering a profound understanding of customer demographics, behaviors, and preferences. This granular insight allows businesses to anticipate consumer needs, tailor their marketing strategies, and refine their product offerings for maximum impact.

Exploring the British “Pasta Lovers“: our case study

This time, we delved into the hearts and tastes of “Pasta Lovers” in the UK through a real case study conducted using Odience features and the use of Generative AI.

The goal of a renowned Italian pasta brand: to strengthen its presence in the British market.
Odience People explored the territory of British consumers who are fond of pasta. From favorite brands to age and gender, the goal was clear: to identify distinctive traits that would guide the strategy to win the hearts of “Pasta Lovers”. With an audience of over 24,000 enthusiasts, a rich and nuanced picture emerged.

The analysis continues with Odience Talk, focusing on direct conversations with personas. Through a vertical analysis of user preferences, unique consumption habits and preferences emerged. This interactive phase allowed the brand to obtain real-time feedback, creating deeper connections with specific audience needs.

Lastly, with Odience Research, a virtual focus group was created involving selected individual digital twins, divided by gender and age groups. These micro segments of consumers provided insightful perceptions, identifying audience subgroups and suggesting creative insights for building targeted messages and products.

This deep-dive offered by Odience provided the Italian brand with the tools for a targeted and personalized conquest strategy, demonstrating the power of digital twins in strategically guiding a company’s successful journey in the international market.
