Sales Catalyst allows researchers to:
-
Gain deeper insights into the mindset of a target persona, specific
media consumers, and the overlap between the two. -
Quickly assess which media properties, segments, and content resonate
with the target audience, then build packages to highlight their
competitive advantage. -
Benchmark their audience against that of the competition to inform
pitch strategy and creative recommendations.
“Researchers and marketers today spend an exorbitant amount of time
aggregating data and curating it into stories that highlight their
unique offerings and show the value of partnerships,” said Anna Welch,
President of MRI-Simmons. “Now, with Sales Catalyst, they can more
quickly and efficiently extract a compelling story about their audience,
and illustrate that story for ad-sales teams to identify and pitch new
partners.”
