How Visual Intelligence Drove 58% Higher Campaign Conversion
A national retail brand used Social Visual Data to uncover hidden consumer affinities, enabling campaigns that set new performance benchmarks.
The Challenge
A leading national retailer faced declining returns on digital ad spend. Traditional demographic and interest-based targeting had plateaued, failing to identify new high-value segments. The team needed deeper insight into real consumer lifestyles and motivations to reignite growth.
To compete, the brand had to move beyond surface-level segmentation and understand how customers actually lived, what they valued, and which brands they truly engaged with.

- AI-Driven Segmentation Analyzed millions of social images to identify consumers by lifestyle, environment, and product usage.
- Peer Brand Mapping Detected brand co-occurrences within user content, revealing new affinity clusters.
- Visual Context Analysis Understood where and how products fit into daily life, not just what consumers owned.
- Real-Time Validation Observational AI captured authentic, current behaviors without survey bias.
- Affinity Discovery Machine learning surfaced connections between lifestyle and purchase intent that traditional analytics missed.
