Do you know what’s relevant and meaningful for your customers?
People expect brands to be relevant and add meaning to their lives
To stay ahead, brands should leverage profound needs and changing behavior of people instead of just hypes and big data
One model to capture where and how you can be relevant in your customers lives
We’ve brought 20 years of human behavioral research together in our Human Context Circle. This circle provides tangible insights to fuel future proof strategies, innovation and touchpoints. Allowing brands to ensure their (future) relevance.
Clients and challenges we’ve guided
KNVB
The KNVB (Royal Dutch Football Association) was looking for a fresh outside perspective to identify key societal developments and themes to incorporate in their strategy towards 2030. That is why they asked TrendsActive to match the KNVB’s challenges to the changing needs of people so that they can remain relevant towards the future.
Vodafone
Vodafone set the goal to become more customer-centric. The main goal was to introduce an easy-to-apply marketing and sales segmentation based on customer needs. So together with Vodafone we delivered a pragmatic, human-centric segmentation, by integrating our generational and and gender insights with Vodafone’s customer data.
Nationale Nederlanden
After acquiring the Dutch insurer Delta lLoyd (DL), Nationale Nederlanden needed to reposition, rebrand and reintroduce the existing DL healthcare proposition. In close collaboration with the customer we used our insights in the human behavior to design the launching proposition.
Disney
Disney approached us as they found out there was some fierce competition between Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck:) Disney was looking for a way to increase the relevance for the Donald Duck brand. And what do you do then? You approach TrendsActive.
