Tell us your Insight into consumers’ beauty routines and how they view skin care.

A pioneering skin care brand has turned to the Tongal community to find Insights into how consumers feel about beauty routines. In a previous project, we asked Tongalers to give us Observations on their own skin care regimen. We’ve now compiled the results and placed them all in an Excel spreadsheet, which you can download from the Assets section.

Peruse the Observations in that list and look for patterns. Then pick three Observations from the list and create an Insight based on them. Your Insight should uncover a human truth about the beauty routines and skin care. See the “What is an Insight?” section below for more information.

Tell us your Insight in 140 characters or less. Then provide an explanation as to how you arrived at that Insight in fewer than 1,000 characters. Finally, identify which three Observations inspired your Insight by listing the Observation numbers in the designated field when you submit. You must enter THREE Observations.

The winning Insights will be used in a subsequent Tongal project to build a Brand Purpose and Campaign Idea.

What is an Insight?

In advertising, an Insight is a conclusion about a consumer concern or a universal human truth that can be potentially addressed by a brand or a product benefit. For instance, Ikea discovered this Insight: “People overspend on fashion purchases such as clothes and shoes, but still cling to a ’til death do us part’ attitude with their furniture”. Which led to this famously successful campaign.
