Cohorts is an industry-leading, household-based, consumer segmentation tool that enables marketers to understand, target and communicate with distinct customer and prospect groups. It is the power to send the right message to the right household, and improve marketing effectiveness and ROI.

Cohorts divides virtually all U.S. households into 30 cohesive groups that share distinct demographic, lifestyle and consumer behavior characteristics. Each Cohort is named to reflect its personality and help you distinguish it from the others. Each group is also supported by detailed behavioral profiles that help you get to know your customer types as individuals, not just clusters of data, and reach out to them with personalized messages and programs.
