StatSocial’s Digital Tribes is a new consumer segmentation model with a social psychographic twist.
Digital Tribes are powered by StatSocial’s Silhouette, the industry’s most advanced Audience Intelligence Platform. Our unique technology enables us to make sense of the billions of unstructured earned and social web interactions that go on each day — allowing you to dive deep into nearly any audience you can imagine.
Using billions of inputs for over 120 million U.S. consumers, we have segmented naturally occurring populations into 100 distinct Digital Tribes.
This entry is a deeper dive into the tribe we call “Gamers Not Lamers.”
