Visualizing customers’ emotions

Client benefit

Sales & Marketing - Radical product improvement through state of the art data-visualization.

Project objective

Implementing a system for visualizing results from complex surveys by revamping the format and automating production.

Project results

The dashboard enables BRANDthrō to visualize new segmentation models for their data. It also conveys their research results directly to the client, embedding the insights into a tool with sophisticated UX.

Project background

BRANDthrō, a US-based enterprise Insights-as-a-Service platform, supports its clients by leveraging the analysis of emotions to optimize their customer journey. Using first-party data, the platform takes profiling to the next level by looking at this process from a purely emotional standpoint. 

Thanks to the development of a multi-functional dashboard created by The Visual Agency, the data obtained from the surveys is processed through an algorithm which creates personalized and interactive reports. This data-transformation from static to interactive has allowed BRANDthrō to make a qualitative leap communicating data and insights to their customers.

«The Visual Agency team embraced our vision to visualize emotion as data and brought their innovative concepts to life. They quickly and efficiently distilled a complicated concept in a way that has democratized access to our insights platform and will help to fuel growth for BRANDthrō.»

ePR (Emotional Profile Report), the platform designed for Brandthrō, automatically transforms static reports into interactive data visualizations, optimizing insights and end-customer user experience. 

Surveys lead to two types of ‘Commercial Intimacy Insights’: audience development and emotional linguistic analysis.

From 100 static pages to 4 interactive chapters


The data generated by the surveys was once manually analyzed and statically visualized. Now, it is transformed into a digital tool organized in 4 main chapters, each with a visual identity represented by a geometric shape: 

  1. Personality analysis
  2. Brand features 
  3. Emotions
  4. Authenticity + Tension

The data represented in each section can be filtered by the demographic characteristics of the respondents. 

Audience development


Information obtained from the surveys is added to existing user profiling segments to paint a more intimate and in-depth picture of the target audience.

This provides a comprehensive understanding of the target audience's characteristics and habitual behavior which enables the end client to precisely identify those customers that are primed for acquisition.

Big 5 OCEAN Model


Thanks to the personality lens applied to the data, it is possible to get a clearer picture of the target. This is done comparing the habits and characteristics of the target with those of the reference brand. 

The model used is that of the Big 5 OCEAN: 

  • Openness 
  • Conscientiousness
  • Extraversion
  • Agreeableness
  • Neuroticism

Brand features analysis


In addition to analyzing consumers, BRANDthrō also analyzes brand features, ranking the different components of the brand experience based on emotional intensity. 

These insights are then matched to target audiences to identify the brand experiences which perform best. This approach identifies the likelihood of customer acquisition or retention and through the visualization of emotional insights supports the client driving customer permissioning. 

Emotional Linguistic Analysis


The brand's tone of voice, language, and lexical register are mapped into primary and secondary emotions. The emotional continuum is represented on a scale ranging from -3 (Anger) to + 3 (Love).

For each phrase analyzed, the algorithm determines a result: 

  • Affect: the consumer's primary emotional response determines their attitude toward the product. 
  • Authenticity: the secondary emotions allow to determine the authenticity of the responses and what is the level of tension.

The obtained insights, visualized through a state-of-the-art design approach help clients to improve product innovation, build a more authentic corporate culture and ignite trust, loyalty and spend amongst the end-customers. 

Managing and monitoring


All reports are hosted in a custom content repository to which BRANDthrō's clients have direct access elevating the product from a third party tool to an integrated instrument into the client’s daily operating habits.

To regulate access to the site and content, a management portal was created. On this portal it is possible to decide which content each user can access, so that they do not have access to sensitive and confidential information.
