Passion Points are the activities and areas of life people of deep interest to consumers. They are the “things” that people prioritize when spending their time, money, and attention. And, they are concrete expressions of culture. Collage’s Passion Point research offers deep insight into four audiences we know Americans care deeply about. This work offers brands and marketers important tools to win diverse consumer segments.
Brands use Passion Points to both extend reach and deepen connection with America’s diverse consumers, across race and ethnicity, generation, sexual identity and gender. These activations can vary, from authentic creative and brand positioning to partnerships and sponsorships. In all cases, Passion Point research provides critical insight for understanding which activations will be most successful.

Black Americans feel at home when cooking and baking in their kitchens. Many have fond memories of learning how to cook and bake at a young age from their relatives.

Gen Z wants to explore the world, especially those who are 13-17. They desire fun and adventurous vacations and travel internationally.

Millennials now make up the majority of parents with kids under 18. Their identity is evolving as racial identity, and deciding whether to become a parent (or not) is a big focus. Many Millennials are embracing marketing addressing race and ethnicity. However, when it comes to family, many millennials decide to have children later in life or not at all. They also welcome diversity and seek out learning about other cultures and ideas by prioritizing new experiences.

Collage Group’s LGBTQ+ market research and consumer trends help brands engage the LGBTQ+ community, a growing segment that skews young and has tremendous buying power. LGBTQ+ Americans like socializing when eating. They prefer sharing food and consider family as people who feel close to them (and not necessarily related). Video games and sports also provide many LGBTQ+ Americans with a sense of close community, using the experience to socialize and build relationships. Although many LGBTQ+ Americans follow sports, they are more likely to host sports-viewing parties for their family and friends, further building relationships with those close to them. LGBTQ+ Americans also like to seek out adventure and use fashion as a form of self-expression.
