What it does

Use when the user needs to understand customers deeply enough to write copy and pick targeting, consumer versus shopper, JTBD, layered persona, internal monologue, pain map, objection list, journey map, and a customer language bank pulled from real reviews and DMs. Trigger on 'customer insight', 'buyer persona', 'who is my customer', 'what do they actually want', 'jobs to be done', 'why do they hesitate before buying'. Also use when the user cannot explain who the product is for. Not for, intake questions when an agency signs a new client, see `20-client-intake-brief-global`; paid audience targeting setup, see `51-audience-research-global`; competitor study, see `08-competitor-research-global`.

Customer Insight (Global)

Information Gathering

Ask up to 4 questions before starting:

  1. What is your product / service? (Industry, price tier, market geography)
  2. Who are your current customers? (Gender, age range, typical price point, channels they discover you)
  3. Do you have customer data? (CRM data, comments/inbox, reviews, surveys, share if available)
  4. What's the goal of this insight work? (Content writing? Ad targeting? Repositioning? New product launch? Service improvement?)

Consumer vs Shopper Distinction

The buyer is not always the user, and the user is not always the decision-maker:

Consumer (User)Shopper (Buyer)
DefinitionPerson who actually uses the product/servicePerson who pays for it
Cares aboutExperience, results, feelingsPrice, convenience, value-for-money
Decides based on"Will this work for me?""Is this worth the cost?"
Example (Skincare)The person whose skin gets treatedTheir partner / parent paying
Example (Course)StudentParent paying tuition
Example (Kids' toys)The childThe parents
Example (B2B SaaS)End-user employeeManager / Procurement

Identification Questions

  • Are Consumer and Shopper the same person?
  • If different: who influences the purchase decision? Who shapes the experience?
  • Which audience should content target? (Often both, but with different angles)

4-Stage Insight Framework

Each funnel stage produces a different kind of insight:

Stage 1, Awareness (They don't know they need it yet)
