Next Generation Consumer Listening
Together, we’ll identify where your consumers are talking about their pain points, wants, needs, and desires relevant to your product category. This can include analyzing social media comments, scraping reviews and blogs/forums. We’ll then use our custom bots to scrape those conversations and comments and organize them into a robust, and structured data set.
Cut through the noise with machine learning
Using our proprietary algorithms, we’ll remove the noise from the data and identify key topics and subtopics of conversations. We look beyond the obvious topics and look to uncover the hidden aspects and emerging topics of conversation. This output, coupled with sentiment analysis, then powers our last and final stage.
Idea generation + prioritization
This is where the humans takeover. Leveraging the machine’s output, we’ll work to identify the most interesting and actionable insights from the data –- the insights that power the next product attribute or consumer experience. Together, we’ll review the output and work to prioritize which ideas have the potential to influence your product roadmap.
