Vividata, Canada’s leader in consumer and cross media research, and Manifold Data Mining have partnered to deliver market insights within Manifold’s newly updated Polaris Intelligence platform.

Applying collaborative filtering and supervised deep learning techniques to Vividata’s Survey of the Canadian Consumer (SCC) and Consumer Cannabis Study, Manifold has extrapolated the survey to the 6-digit postal code level. Marketers, data scientists, modelers, and analysts can leverage the power of Vividata to gain consumer and market insights across Canada at both standard and custom geographic levels. For each 6-digit postal code, this new data product provides estimates of what products consumers buy, where and how often they shop, how much they spend, which media channels they use, their lifestyles, as well as their attitudes.

Vividata’s Survey of the Canadian Consumer, with nearly 40,000 respondents (aged 14+) and over 60,000 variables, is the most comprehensive single source cross-media, product, attitudinal and brand research study in Canada.

Dr. Zhen Mei at Manifold states, “Vividata’s Survey of the Canadian Consumer is an excellent source for behavioural and psychographic insights. Its large sample size and extensive coverage of 40+ markets provide us with a solid foundation for extrapolating the survey accurately to all 6-digit postal codes in Canada and ensures high predictive power for data modeling. We are privileged to partner with Vividata to produce this data product.”

Manifold’s Polaris Intelligence platform is also applied to the post-legalization Consumer Cannabis Study by Vivintel, the custom research arm of Vividata, providing especially relevant insights to cannabis brands, media and government. This database within Polaris, delivers a comprehensive understanding on adult use, health and wellness, and potential cannabis consumers.

Tosha Kirk, VP of Client Services at Vividata says, “Manifold has a trusted and well-respected tenure within the data and analytics industry. Their segmentation, mapping, and trade area analysis, when combined with Vividata’s studies, provide insights into Canadian consumers at micro-geographic levels. Connecting all these dots with analytics and actionable insight will help marketers grow their business sustainably.”

The modeled Vividata studies are available for licensing at all geographic levels through Manifold Data Mining Inc. and on the online analytics platform: PolarisIntelligence.com.
