Resonate Live: Summer Series

Predicting the Price-Pressured Consumer: A New Playbook for Affordability

Session 1, July 29 at 1PM ET

Affordability is changing who buys, what they’ll pay for, and what they’ll trade off. Most planning still runs on last year’s version of the customer, but backward-looking demographics aren’t a recipe for growth. This session shows what current data reveals about financially pressured consumers, why their underlying values and fears matter more than price tags, and how to spot the demographic assumptions that might be sabotaging a campaign or a pitch.

For Brand Marketers

Affordability represents a new business opportunity—if you have the right targeting and messaging. You need to know which customers have shifted, by how much, and what messages will resonate now, not six months ago. Walk away with sharper targeting, stronger media decisions, and a real-time view of behavioral signals.

For Agency Leaders

Affordability is a new business opportunity. The shop that can predict shifts in behavior before they happen will become the one clients can't do without. Walk away with a stronger new- business pitch and a campaign framework built to back it up.

Top Ways Leading Brands Grow with Predictive Consumer Intelligence

Session 2, August 5 at 1PM ET

Most brands still make growth decisions on demographics and instinct, targeting audiences that look right on paper but never convert. In this session, you’ll learn the top ways leading brands close that gap: finding the audiences most likely to buy, understanding the values behind their decisions, crafting messaging that lands, activating audiences without wasting budget, and adapting as behavior shifts in real time.

Find Your Real Buyers

Replace demographic guesswork with intelligence about who is actually ready to buy and why. Walk away with a clearer view of where growth is hiding in your current audience strategy.

Spend With Confidence

See how leading brands activate audiences across channels without wasting budget. Learn practical moves you can put to work right away.

This session shares five concrete steps for turning your size, experience, and expertise into a durable edge; no holding company budget required.

Holiday Revenue: Forget What's Trending. Predict Who's Spending

Session 4, August 19 at 1PM ET

Nobody can predict the next viral product. What you can predict for the 2026 holiday season is the why behind consumer decisions, and even what they’ll do next. This session uses predictive consumer intelligence to reveal which consumer segments are most likely to spend, how economic pressure is reshaping consumer choices, and which categories will see more or less buying activity this year.

For Brand Marketers

Know which segments are most likely to spend before the holiday season starts. Walk away with a clearer read on where to focus your holiday budget and messaging.

For Agency Leaders

Help clients plan for economic pressure instead of reacting to it. Walk away with a sharper story for how you will drive their holiday performance.
