Strategic Foundations
Crowd-source directly from the market with our qualitative Discovery Survey to develop a comprehensive list of category motivators (also known as category entry points, or attributes). This uncovers what motivates your target audience to engage in the category so you can assess whether your brand strategy aligns with these critical triggers—or if key motivators are being missed.
Learn key themes among motivators and prioritize them based on an evaluation of each motivator’s actionability. This method goes beyond internal hypotheses, capturing unbiased, market-driven insights.
