THE PASSION POINTSTM WHAT

Our proprietary Passion PointsTM construct comprises more than 150 discrete emotional drivers of consumer choice, grouped into 14 themes across 12 global markets. We can measure these drivers precisely.

How individual consumers order these priorities plays a big role in determining the products they buy, the content they consume, and the brands they embrace.

THE PASSION POINTSTM WHEN

Updated annually for the last 13 years, Passion Points™ offer unpredicted clarity on the emotional hot spots that are trending up and down in response to your target’s cultural surroundings.

This year, we have expanded our study to enable dynamic tracking of the impact of COVID-19 on the EMOTIONAL drivers of consumer decision-making, brand affinity, and media content consumption. We will offer participants a clear, measured line of sight into how the DNA of their brands aligns with consumers’ new emotional priorities – and what they should do now and later to stay relevant in a post-COVID world.
