The Challenge

In today's dynamic landscape, organizations must continually deepen their understanding of their audiences. However, many organizations are challenged by the lack of a consistent understanding of their audiences across all departments. Looking for a solution, Sparda-Bank Berlin approached Statista+. Together, we conducted a project to create market research-based personas and identify their specific customer journeys.

Our Approach

Our approach consisted of 4 steps:

  • 1. Target Group Segmentation

    Based on a baseline study, the target audience was segmented and categorized by needs, behaviors, and attitudes.

  • 2. Persona Workshop

    Detailed personas representing each segment were developed during a workshop. These data-driven, validated personas were aligned with internal company data and existing employee knowledge.

  • 3. Customer Journey Mapping

    The customer journey for each persona was mapped, tracking their experience from initial contact through usage to repurchase.

  • 4. Quantifying the Customer Journey

    A quantitative study was then conducted to prioritize actions along the customer decision journey. This study measured the impact of churn and loyalty drivers, helping to identify the actions that would deliver the greatest results.

“In collaboration with Statista+, we have developed data-based personas of our customers that give us a consistent, cross-company understanding of our target group. We use the personas to make strategic decisions based on data.”
