CHALLENGE
## Accelerating Brand Perception Capture Across Diverse Client Segments
**Understanding brand perception**, especially on a global scale, is typically a slow process that relies on static market research.
To truly grasp consumer behavior shifts and luxury buyers’ changing habits, our client, a major luxury watchmaker based in Switzerland, wanted to explore new methods to **capture its brand perception across client segments**. The brand partnered with fifty-five to find out how Generative AI could be utilized to augment this project.
Solution
## Recreating Target Audiences With Tailored AI Personas
To bypass traditional research limitations, fifty-five designed an automated GenAI Focus Group using our proprietary agentic AI orchestration tool, Agent55.
\- **Persona Engineering**: We translated the brand’s target audiences into multidimensional AI personas, such as Collectors, Tastemakers or First-Time Buyers, each representing different age ranges, interests, budgets, and familiarity with the world of luxury watches.
\- **Targeted Surveying**: We co-designed a 19-questions framework to evaluate the brand and its competitors across 5 categories (Content freshness & engagement, Brand visibility & perception, Cultural & ethical equity, Product excellence, and Access & exclusivity).
\- **At-Scale Interrogation**: Agent55 impersonated each persona and cross-questioned 5 leading LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Mistral AI & Deepseek) to capture how each audience segment "felt" about the brand and how different AI models responded.
Results
## An Always-On Focus Group Providing Key Recommendations for Improvement
Our client's GenAI focus group provided **critical insights** into how the brand was viewed by different groups through unique perception scores. These insights were **verified against traditional market** research to ascertain their accuracy, and fifty-five leveraged them to draft **recommendations to improve audience and LLM perception**, such as reinforcing digital communication around the brand's commitment to sustainability or developing educational content centering on the brand's long-standing expertise.
Our client is now equipped with highly actionable recommendations as well as an **always-on, ultra-responsive focus group** powered with Agent55's AI agents.
