MindBase ™
Generations Matter and Why That’s Important
Age alone does not determine how and why people act at a certain lifestage. Generation does.
These mindsets, cured by the shared experiences while the generation came of age, have demonstrated staying power throughout their lifetime.
But generations are not monolithic. And so we created MindBase™, to identify unique consumer segments and the attitudes and values that bind them as a generation but set them apart as individual cohorts.
MindBase™ Segmentation
12 unique segments aligned to their generation, but with specific mindsets and priorities that identify unique cohorts within their generation. Built from the U.S. MONITOR and linked to 270MM U.S. adults, we can connect these segments to your markets, your CRM database and digital platforms.
