At Nordic Data Resources (NDR), we understand the unique consumer landscape of the Nordic countries. Here, cultural values like friluftsliv (embracing the outdoors) and janteloven (equality and modesty) create a nuanced audience with a bredde (broadness) of interests. This begs the question: why limit your campaign reach to only absolute (100%) relevant audiences when most Nordic consumers exist in a continuum of preferences and values?
Challenging the Traditional, Rigid Hunt for "hotspots"
We're introducing a groundbreaking concept within our Flip-the-Script tool: deadspots. This approach challenges the traditional, rigid hunt for "hotspots" – those seemingly perfect audience segments that tick every demographic box.
Many of our forward-thinking Nordic clients are already rejecting this binary approach, and instead, are embracing a more nyansert (nuanced) targeting strategy.

For generations, marketers have relied on a black-and-white view: audiences are either relevant or irrelevant. But this fails to capture the full picture.
Consumers in the Nordics, like everywhere else, have a multitude of influences that shape their decisions – from shared cultural values to unexpected hobbies.
Flipping the Script: Beyond the Pinpoint
Transitioning to a nuanced approach isn't a sudden switch. We, as marketers, are ingrained in the "pinpoint-who-to-target" mentality. There's a reason for it – focusing on "hotspots" can be reliable. Demographics, shopping habits, life milestones – these data points provide a solid foundation.
However, here at NDR, we know there's untapped potential in the "deadspots" – those audience segments that may seem less relevant on the surface.
Consider a brand targeting outdoor enthusiasts in Norway. While focusing on hikers would be an obvious choice, what about those who enjoy leisurely walks in the park? These individuals might still be receptive to the brand's message, especially if it aligns with their values of appreciating nature (friluftsliv).
