Market, competitor and audience insights to give you a competitive edge
Monitoring changes across markets, verticals and competitor activity is crucial for spotting opportunities to drive growth. We know that’s a big ask for marketers – so we do it for you.
Think you know your customers? Croud can help you to understand who your audience is, where they are and how you can reach them online to maximise your media performance. Audience insight powers media planning, and gives you a competitive edge in the constantly evolving world of digital.
Our approach
1.
We use a range of leading insights tools to gather data on everything from site traffic and app downloads, to ad creative and customer journeys.
2.
We investigate any macro shifts in consumer behaviour or emerging trends influencing competitor activity, giving you a clear view of your market and detailed recommendations for your media strategy.
3.
We also use a mix of first- and third-party data to put together a 360° picture of your customer, complete with their demographic information, media usage, brand affinities and perceptions.
4.
We then work closely with our channel experts to translate that insight into market-leading channels, content and creative plans.
