David Allison //
Consumer Behavior Expert & Valuegraphics Data Pioneer

After a career spent developing concepts to engage stakeholders for several hundred organizations, David Allison recognized there was a need for a more scientific method to determine what really influences a target audience. “Nobody acts their age anymore, and labels like gender, income, and marital status don’t help us understand how people will respond in any situation.” Guided by the basic principles of sociology, psychology and consumer behavior, David came to the simple revelation – what we value determines what we do.

The result of examining over 75,000 surveys about shared values, wants, needs and expectations – Valuegraphics, is the new science of shared values, using big data to detect what your audience really wants, and the messages that will motivate them most. David has taken his message, “Age is out, values are in” into customized presentations all over North America. His revolutionary reframing of audience targeting combined with his magnetic humour and emotive delivery turn audiences into lifelong fans. For every speech or workshop, David will use his proprietary database to create a Custom Valuegraphics Profile for a target audience your organization or industry would like to influence more effectively.

–President & CEO, Intracorp North America

“His thought-provoking talk got me thinking about what my own core values and motivations are and opened my mind about a new way to view other people, rather than depending on the traditional and limited age-based demographic categorizations that are not ideal predictors of future behaviour. Delivered in his usual dynamic, enthusiastic and powerful speaking style, David captivated the room with his brilliant insights.”
