Roy Morgan leads the way as one of Australia’s leading data companies. A special in-depth report into Australia’s leading data companies interviewed Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine and Executive Chairman Gary Morgan about the role the company plays in compiling data and building profiles of different Australians. One of Roy Morgan’s key products is ‘Helix Personas’ which profiles people under headings such as "young and platinum", "smart money", "cautious conservatives", "fair go", "working hard" and nearly 50 other personas. For example, the "young and platinum" group love their mobile devices and are "always on the hunt for the shiny, new and cool" and "making the rent". Their income is around the $64,000 a year mark and they can often be found "living a conventional life centred around family". Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine confirmed that the Helix Personas market segments are based on statistical information, not data from individual people. "It’s totally ethical. Unlike Facebook or any of these things, it’s not any particular individual", Roy Morgan’s chief executive Michele Levine, said.

Roy Morgan Research has announced a partnership with Melbourne-based Lexer. Analysing real-time data from social and public sources, Lexer creates rich profiles of a brand’s customers and prospects. When integrated with Roy Morgan’s Helix Personas, the enriched customer profiling enables clients to reach beyond their current CRM to discover what matters most to their audience – live. Roy Morgan’s Chief Digital Officer, Howard Seccombe, says the company’s clients use Helix Personas every day to inform their strategies, marketing campaigns and product development, and it was obvious that Roy Morgan needed to find a way of connecting Helix Personas with real-time human data to provide context and structure around the Personas who generate, engage and follow in these conversations.

Battlers and retirees are more likely to have NBN than well-off homes and inner city Metrotechs

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 28-Apr-17

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 67 per cent of Australian homes had fixed internet in the six months to February 2017. Some 14 per cent of homes were connected to the NBN, while 53 per cent had a non-NBN fixed home broadband connection. Analysis using Roy Morgan’s Helix Personas shows that homes in the "Leading Lifestyles" Community are the most likely to have a fixed internet connection, but the least likely to be on the NBN: 75 per cent have fixed broadband overall, but only nine per cent have the NBN, as it has not yet arrived in many established inner metropolitan suburbs. Likewise, only 12 per cent of "Metrotechs" living mostly in gentrified inner city hotspots are on the NBN, while 59 per cent have regular fixed broadband. Meanwhile, 18 per cent of "Battlers" have the NBN, while 39 per cent have regular fixed broadband.
