Client Challenge

Understanding women's influence on healthcare decisions to open a new market.

Butler/Till, one of the largest independent results-driven marketing agencies in the US, is women-founded, owned, and led, and is proudly 100% employee-owned and a certified B Corporation. Their forward-thinking team wanted to explore how the many roles played by women affect their views and attitudes towards healthcare. The goal was threefold: deepen understanding of this audience, open a new market for other marketers, and start to pave the way for action that will reduce the gender health gap. Traditional segmentation studies typically take six months to a year, and the team needed a faster, more cost-effective approach.

Advanced Segmentation to Reveal Nuanced Audiences

Resonate delivered AI-powered segmentation through the Ignite Platform, powered by rAI, Resonate’s proprietary system of AI-based models. The platform gave Butler/Till the flexibility to build and segment audiences using 15,000+ Resonate attributes, their own first-party data, and custom data inputs.

Butler/Till built segmentation using Custom Engaged Audiences, which are fresh, topic-based, in-market audiences derived from real-time online behavior at massive scale.

Hyper-Specific Audience Focus:

The team narrowed their focus to a hyper-specific audience quickly and cost-effectively, moving from ideation to first draft in just four months instead of the typical six to twelve.

driven by differentiated audience intelligence

Typical segmentation studies generally take six months to a year due to a variety of factors. From ideation to first draft of the report, Butler/Till and Resonate were operating in a four-month period, which is remarkable given the logistics of our endeavor. Part of the success of this was the methodologies used being able to sort and sift through enormous amounts of data in a timely manner and our close collaboration throughout the process, a key ingredient.
