Integration

We can merge new or existing segmentation into our GWI Core data set. For existing, we use a recontact study to include your 'golden questions' in our survey. From there, we can assign consumers from our Core survey to relevant segments, with the option to model them onto future waves.

Extrapolation

We can take segments already integrated into specific markets and expand them to any of GWI Core’s 50+ markets. We cluster countries based on similar attitudes, behaviors, and values, then recontact at least one market from each cluster and integrate the result into our Core data.

Activation

Finally, we can take your priority segments and use them as the starting point for your activation campaigns. We identify promising IDs and use them as seed data for modeling. Once modeling is complete, the segments are ready to be pushed to your chosen buying platform via one of our partnerships.
