Challenge
The Vegetarian Society aimed to expand their membership base and establish themselves as the trusted voice in the field. To achieve this, they recognized the importance of understanding the vegetarian market and its key audiences. The Vegetarian Society sought to commission social listening research that would provide them with vital insights to shape their membership offering and effectively target the right individuals with tailored messaging and advertisements.
Solution
RILA's team employed advanced social listening techniques, including boolean logic, social listening and artificial intelligence, to analyze organic social media data from March to November 2021. The data covered the unprompted opinions of over 202,000 unique authors from global markets. The analysis focused on various aspects, providing a comprehensive view of consumer behavior and preferences.
RILA's team employed advanced analytics tools and techniques to delve deep into digital conversations and extract valuable insights related to the vegetarian market. Through social listening, we focused on identifying the underlying reasons that drive individuals to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle.
Furthermore, our research allowed us to identify the specific desires and expectations of different groups within the vegetarian community, including vegetarians, flexitarians, and meat-reducers.
We also identified distinct audience personas within the vegetarian industry. Our analysis uncovered valuable demographic, psychographic, and behavioral information about these personas.
