When I was a Product Manager, my challenges included external messaging that didn’t quite drive desired results & a constant battle gathering external unbiased feedback about myself & competitors
Well, we solve that problem with a personal toolkit specifically designed to measure all external messages and conversations as well as
turn consumer reviews into product and service insight
For example, a leading laptop maker used Argus analytics techniques to gather consumer sentiment from parents during the back-to-school window and develop a feature that coated
keyboards with an anti-virus film to improve safety for children
