A two-part ITG Ignite story with Gen Z consumers, this engagement was focused on identifying what brands can do that resonates with teenagers.

 

20 consumers completed an Inspire® Consumer Insight Accelerator survey around their sleep habits, uploading unique images to bring their answers to life. The survey went hand-in-hand with a consumer homework assignment, resulting in rich, new market opportunities for sleep products.

With an Expert Expansion and Creative Consumers® associates, this ITG Ignite story broadened the scope of possibilities through consumer insights and adjacent stimulus.

 

Using the Inspire® Consumer Insight Accelerator, we captured the emotions behind consumers’ lives with user-generated imagery. That output yielded unique opportunity spaces for future product development.
