Understand the consumer before launch

Your target audience is changing faster than reports can be produced. Gen Z drives convenience. The buying journey moves to TikTok and AI search. Classic panel data doesn't capture the nuances — and costs millions.

We conduct concept tests, brand analysis and target audience analysis in 4-6 weeks — with AI-powered analysis of open-ended responses that captures the consumer's voice, not just the numbers. Fresh panels. Fast decisions.

We were planning a campaign targeting Gen Z but still had a mental model from 2018. Alba's target audience analysis in 4 weeks showed that our previous positioning didn't land at all — we managed to change both messaging and channel mix before launch.

Common objections

"We have secondary data from major providers — why our own primary?"

Secondary data is the industry picture. Primary is YOUR picture — your target audience about you, against your competitors. Secondary gives trends. Primary gives decision support for a specific product or campaign.

"Aren't focus groups better than surveys for emotions?"

Often hybrid. Quantitative survey (200-1000 respondents) provides statistical foundation + qualitative depth interviews (8-15 people) provide nuance. AI-powered analysis of open-ended survey responses captures much of what focus groups traditionally do — faster and cheaper.

"Does AI analysis remove the nuances in the consumer's voice?"

The opposite — AI makes nuances VISIBLE. We analyse open-ended responses with both sentiment and theme, but present real quotes and phrasings. You read word-for-word — AI just helps with structure.

Sample report — before you decide
