A new framework

Understanding online behaviour requires a new kind of segmentation framework. At the “top of the tree” are the Super Leaders, the most active and most social group of all. The earliest of adopters, the vocal trendsetters, who are a new kind of influencer, vital to unlocking the connected mass market, now and in the future.


Find out: who Super Leaders are, and where and how to engage with them; how Super Leader behaviour varies across markets and interaction hotspots; and what, where and when they like to post about your brands.
