When HubSpot needed a more nuanced understanding of its audience, they turned to Glimpse for a solution that went beyond traditional market research methods. HubSpot faced several challenges, including the need for a more actionable and agile customer picture, more precise messaging, and a strategy shaped by a deeper understanding of their audience.
This is where Glimpse stepped in with virtual personas. We leveraged gen AI to create digital twins—detailed, human centered profiles that truly reflect the complexities of HubSpot's customers.

Back to School Self-Care for Parents: The Hidden Marketing Goldmine?
As the back-to-school season heats up, most brands focus on kids with new supplies, clothes, and schedules. However, parents are the ones behind the scenes juggling it all. Could there be a hidden opportunity for brands to cater to stressed-out parents during this hectic time?
Recent insights from our research suggest there is a growing demand for self-care among parents navigating back-to-school chaos. In fact, 60% of parents are engaging in self-care activities to manage their stress. This shift, especially among younger Gen Z parents, shows a rising trend in prioritizing mental and emotional well-being.
Additionally, many parents face significant challenges with time management and financial strain during this period, revealing gaps in the market for brands to offer solutions. By tailoring back-to-school campaigns to address these pain points, brands can connect with parents on a deeper level, creating a win-win scenario—reducing parental stress while boosting sales.

What are Glimpse’s digital twins? Imagine being able to interact with virtual personas that don't just mirror demographic data, but also ‘think’, and ‘speak’ and make decisions just like your real customers..
Let’s rewind back to the beginning. At Glimpse, our journey begins with collecting diverse data that goes beyond numbers. We gather a variety of insights through different question types to capture the full range of customer experiences. By combining this with our sentiment analysis, we dive deep into understanding not just what customers say, but how they feel.
Then, we take this raw data and humanize it into digital twins– virtual personas that mirror the complex behaviors and emotions of your real customers or a segment of your customers. This process allows brands to simulate real life interactions and tailor strategies that resonate deeply with their target audience, ultimately creating more authentic and effective marketing campaigns.
In our latest piece with Ad Age, our Founder, Neil Dixit, and Chief Strategy Officer, Adam Bai dive into how incorporating qualitative insights is the key to creating digital twins that are not just accurate, but truly reflective of the human experience. Read more below.
