This valuable data is then incorporated into customer segmentations, messaging matrices, and content suggestions, ensuring your marketing efforts connect with your target audience.

Brands who trust our Insights

ROAST’s Insights team were a pleasure to work with. They were quick to understand our business and were excellent at communicating the rationale behind the research method. They provided us with clearly defined new customer segments which will inform the development of our evolved offering.

Saké is a growing but generally unknown category in the UK, and as a new super-premium brand, we were keen to understand the key challenges and opportunities we were facing. We worked alongside ROAST to determine key consumer drivers to help inform our overall brand strategy. ROAST’s audience profiling, in particular, gave us a solid foundation from which to build our brand before launch.
