Unveiling customer tastes for growth opportunities
Established in 2010, TheFork Australia (formerly known as Dimmi) offers a convenient and user-friendly platform for diners to discover and book restaurants, read reviews, and explore menus. The platform's popularity has grown significantly, attracting a large user base of food lovers and restaurant enthusiasts. But with an appetite to evolve the business further, TheFork team recognised the importance of gaining a deeper understanding of their diverse customer segments to support their continued growth.
Acknowledging the pivotal role of brand research in achieving their ambitions, TheFork sought an agency to assist them in conducting specialised quantitative research to developing a comprehensive customer segmentation model. Their objective was to ensure that their brand was well-positioned to effectively attract and retain their primary and secondary target segments.

Helix persona segmentation tagging
Demographic, behavioural and psychographic segmentation modeling
To gain a comprehensive understanding of their brand's potential target markets, explore growth opportunities, and establish a menu for achieving their goals, TheFork embarked on an objective research initiative.
Our approach encompassed quantitative research across a diverse range of existing and potential customers, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of market dynamics and customer preferences. To further refine the targeting strategy, we utilised the Helix personas, an existing segmentation model. By leveraging these personas, we were able to identify specific groups that could be directly targeted through media buying channels, aligning with the same persona modeling framework.

By understanding the preferences, needs, and behaviors of their existing customers and potential target segments, TheFork can position themselves strategically in the market, optimise media buying channels, and foster strong connections with their audience.
