👏 An excellent feature on Solsten in USA TODAY! Their team is pioneering audience intelligence in powerful new ways, and this is only the beginning. Want to learn more? 📌 Join the waiting list for Navigator V2 and check out the full article below! #KonvoyPortfolio #AudienceIntelligence
Big news! Solsten was just featured in a fantastic write-up in USA TODAY. We started this company back in 2018 to help businesses really "get" their audiences at a deeper level. We began by helping game studios understand their players better, and we've worked with almost every big studio you can name. But here's the thing — what we learned from helping game developers understand their players turns out to be universally powerful. Whether you're in finance, retail, media, or consumertech, deeply understanding what motivates your audience changes everything. You can personalize ads the right way, design features based on your audience's true needs, and even research your competition in fascinating new ways. Want early access to audience intelligence that goes beyond basic demographics and behavior? Join our waiting list for Navigator V2 — where psychology meets AI to help you build what your audience actually wants. Huge thanks to our incredible team who make this possible, and to all the forward-thinking companies who've joined us on this journey. We're just scratching the surface of what's possible! https://lnkd.in/gDtcbkWt
