You can't build strategy for a number - it won't listen!

Historically retailers have been more data rich and sophisticated than brokers and property owners. This is changing with tools like https://t.co/xb3fV6qlSV and https://t.co/ajv6YX3zI3 who help analysts from firms like TSCG leverage data to guide retailers.

Upcoming podcast alert! I spoke with Ken Gronbach who wrote the excellent demographics primer: Upside. Listening to you realize quickly we default to "snapshot" thinking rather than looking at our customers as evolving through a timeline.

I often talk about how property owners can land more tenants with PersonaLive. But sometimes the real value is about identifying a tenant who is NOT the right fit for the customer base. Even if that is a big name tenant.

I heard Richard Webber was the guy who took all the pictures for MOSAIC UK. Turns out it was true... With a twist. He actually took the pictures BEFORE making the classification! Which ends up being useful in verifying that the machine (kmeans) did a good job of classifying.

If you are in a service business, like an agency - time is money. And if you can cut down time on understanding the client's best end customer and delivering profitable campaigns to those exact people it has bottom line impact on client results and agency profitability.

There are four laws to ACTIONABLE customer profiling.

When a CMO enters a new role, first step should ALWAYS be to understand the target market. Unfortunately most of the time all you get is anecdotes like "suburban Moms with kids". Luckily PersonaLive helps you codify, segment, and rank your entire customer database in 30 minutes.

@jeremympryor I disagree with Elon. You can't forget characters have a story arc. Hoping over 6 seasons the characters become who Tolkien wrote them to be. The men become brave. Galadriel becomes more wise.
