This podcast with Edward Bass, the founder and director of EntSight, covers why people should care about your product and overcoming what might be a massive wall of indifference, audience clarity, market research, feedback loops, the language of tribes, influencers, and more!
Edward came to marketing via a different route. He was in the music field, running club nights and promoting bands, where he developed skills and strategies in marketing. He then moved into agency jobs working with large brands, and his work was based on data and insights.
He developed ways of using social and online sample data to help brands wanting to invest in a celebrity, film or TV show or music video, to make sure they are investing in the right choice, while being responsive to their audience.
He is now the founder of EntSight, a company that works with large brands, entertainment groups and hedge funds to help them understand the preferences, behaviours and passions of their target audiences and identify these and develop strategies to respond to them.
Edward tells the podcast: "The nature of digital marketing, of digital communications, has meant that audiences are much more addressable. You go online and you see a Facebook advert or a banner ad - that's generally there because it has identified you as having a certain set preferences and interests.
"We were acutely aware of that when we set up EntSight. We also thought this wasn't being responded to by research companies - there's all this data here."
