SINGAPORE — Havas Group Singapore and choice-driven advertising technology company Ogury have partnered to uncover the state of health and wellness in Singapore. The study illustrates the different types of wellness consumer personas in Singapore and the opportunities it presents for brands to customise their advertising strategy.
The health and wellness categories have seen a transformation in the recent years, with consumers now more aware and eager to pursue a healthy lifestyle than ever before. The study uncovers key insights around the behaviour and attitudes of the wellness consumer in Singapore, particularly on mobile and how brands can adapt their advertising strategies for maximum impact.
“If there is one industry that is taking centre-stage in current times, it is healthcare.The shifts in behaviour indicate that consumers play a more active role in their own care and we wanted to delve into the consumer mindset and their approach to health and wellness, with this study. We’re excited to be working with Ogury to bring unique insights about users’ behaviour across mobile apps and websites and make a meaningful difference to brands in this sector,” said Jacqui Lim, Group CEO, Havas Singapore.
“The Singapore healthcare industry has grown massively. It’s a multi-faceted industry with unique nuances and only by understanding and harnessing the culture of health-promotion and wellbeing, can brands hope to connect with consumers on an individual level. We hope the insights in the report help brands with the burgeoning opportunities available in this sector and are delighted to partner with Havas Group to present this initiative,” said Niall Hogan, Managing Director South East Asia, Ogury.
The study included computer-aided telephone interviews with Singaporeans of both genders, in equal numbers, from the ages of 18 to 55, across two weeks to help gain a granular understanding of the perception of wellness in Singapore. The study drew insights from Havas’ research and mobile user behavioural data from Ogury Active Insights — Ogury’s proprietary data modelling and visualization solution.
