MIAMI- Geoscape (http://geoscape.com), the leading provider of multicultural business intelligence announced today the release of its 2017 software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, known as the Geoscape Intelligence System (GIS). Thousands of new data attributes, updated dynamic map layers and powerful new features will yield actionable insights to help brands navigate complex and diverse growth opportunities.

Geoscape offers the most powerful suite of online software designed for marketers to access high-growth consumer groups such as Hispanics, Asians, African Americans, Millennials, GenZ, LGBT and religious affinity consumer groups. The summer 2017 release contains fresh data and features that impart valuable insights for multicultural marketing campaigns:

Fresh and Powerful Data

• American Marketscape DataStream (AMDS) 2017 Series data incorporates dozens of input sources and provides current year and five-year (2022) population, household projections and CultureCoding® for multiple geographic levels – including updated ZIP Codes, postal carrier routes, DMAs and more.
• Consumer Spending Dynamix (CSDx) 2017 Series data, contains new household projections for 2017 estimating household spending potential across more than 500 categories of goods and services.
• Growth indicators for 1990, 2000, 2010, 2017 and 2022 enable quick focus to hot spots nationwide.
• Access to a subset of the U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS) demographic data which offers marital status, family composition, poverty level, providing marketers with even more tools for wise decision making.

Added System Features for Greater Speed and Security

• DirecTarget (data enrichment) has been enhanced with 15 HomeBase household level appends such as Household Income, Net Worth, Home Value and Property Type, just to name a few.
• DirecTarget Customer Insight Report – a new interactive HTML-format analytical report used to summarize customer information files (CIF) with ethnicity identifiers (EthniCodes) and a variety of cultural attributes (CultureCodes) by utilizing a person’s full name and address to better understand specific characteristics useful for segmentation, promotions and customer service. The new analytical report also identifies growth opportunities with segments that may be under-represented in a customer file.

• MDx data insights module features thematic grid reports to highlight potential/growth zones.

Some Compelling Facts from the 2017 AMDS Release

• Since 1990, the Hispanic population has nearly tripled, while the white non-Hispanic population has grown by only 5%.
• Hispanics contributed 61 percent of the population growth since 2010 and Asians 20%.
