Citizen Relations

Company Profile

www.citizenrelations.com

Citizen is simply a modern digital communications agency.  We’re solely focused on two things. First is understanding our clients’ business. We endeavour to know everything we can – how your industry operates, the most meaningful indicators of success, and most importantly, the key audiences you want a relationship with. Second, we are vigilant in understanding these key audiences. On average, people make 70 conscious decisions a day1 yet, receive more than 10,000 pieces of information that potentially impact those decisions. At Citizen, we segment your key audiences and dissect their entire ‘customer journey’ to understand more than what they read and watch, but moreso, their preferences, desires, aspirations, and passions. Today’s journeys are incredibly intricate and none of them are linear, so our audience profiles and journey mapping allow us to create ideas that engage them, identify the platforms to reach them and ensure the conversation we build will make some of those 70 decisions impact your business. Our AI-enabled creative, intelligence and strategic products and capabilities help set us apart — this is reflected in our award-winning work across such sectors as consumer-packaged goods, food & beverage, automotive, financial services, gaming, consumer tech and travel.
