Marketing Fandom

Fandom is every brand’s superpower. It’s about the passion and emotional connections people have for the products, entertainment, and sports they love. Some fans spend every waking hour engaging with and talking about the focus of their fandom. Others display fandom in more subtle ways. No matter what types of fans you attract, you need to acknowledge, understand, and nurture them.

Our proprietary research platform fuses billions of datapoints and millions of consumer surveys to get to the heart of what fans think, feel, and behave. Combined, this helps clients identify and engage the fans who matter most to them.

We are a truly full-service agency, we are creating the most tech and data-forward research business on the planet, where primary research, AI, and big data work together to solve complex marketing, content, and product development challenges.

Our team of Custom Researchers dive deep into the heads of fans to understand how they think and feel about a wide range of products and services, from CPG and QSR to Automotive, Technology, and Sports and Entertainment. We transform this knowledge into insights to shape our clients’ marketing strategies, refine advertising and content, and fuel new product innovations. The Big Difference is that we are a team of psychologists, cultural anthropologists, strategists, and data junkies with a rich research toolkit aimed at addressing the unique challenges facing brands and entertainment businesses today.

The Custom team uses their Research Superpowers to identify core fans, understand connections, an define ways to engage.

Our Core Values

Curiosity Makes Us Tick

Our love of learning manifests in everything we do – from the surveys we field and the datasets we analyze to the technology we develop. Where others pause, we push forward, uncovering hidden meaning and answers. Always learning, always looking for more.

We Roll with Change

We embrace change as an opportunity to learn, grow, and further develop. We do this by challenging our biases and rethinking how things have always been done in the past. This fresh, open-minded approach keeps us agile, innovating, and adapting in the face of uncertainty.

Diversity is Our Superpower

Our differences make us stronger. As researchers and data scientists, we have a responsibility to reflect the diverse audiences and communities all around us. Understanding people, opinions and life experiences fuels our insights and deepens our perspectives.
