10 agency personas critical for growth
COVID-19 spurred a rapid change of how we consume and interact with advertising, media and content, but over the past 12 months some trendlines have begun to level. Understanding continued shifts in consumer behaviour, preferences and attitudes will be critical to charting a successful growth strategy for the remainder of the decade.
Leveraging YouGov data, we’ve identified 10 key consumer audiences about whom agency leaders need a nuanced POV.
