About our Audience Insights Series

The most successful marketing and communications strategies start with the audience.

Who are they? What drives them? What do they genuinely value?

For CMOs and marketers, this is easier said than done. The data exists — but it’s fragmented, inconsistent, and time-consuming to navigate. That’s why we created the Aspectus Audience Insights series: to do the heavy lifting for you.

In this edition, we explore one of the most influential audiences in global business: the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). We’ve distilled the best available research into concise, actionable insights — helping you craft campaigns that truly resonate with this critical decision-maker.

You can access our previous editions below.
