Insight and innovation are inseparable. Market research and audience understanding fuel the ideas that connect, persuade, and endure. Creativity can’t be guesswork; it should be guided by strategy, and strategy comes alive through creativity. The intersection of the two is where meaningful marketing happens.

Data driven.

2025 market research showed KMBC 9 News audience preference levels at all time highs. Shortly thereafter, a new graphics package and a newly available voiceover talent provided key ingredients to seize on positive viewer sentiment. A new positioning statement, “Kansas City’s News Leader,” acknowledged the station’s profile as voiced by local viewers. A new marketing campaign was kicked off with a six-part first wave of creative—all nodding to the research.

Tying everything together, a bit of connective-thread copy straight from the data: “When it matters most, Kansas City turns to the leader.”
