How Plant-Based Meat in Fast-Food restaurants is perceived among Hispanics and African Americans
Plant-Based meat has become a popular topic in the last few years. Some of the largest fast-food restaurants have made plant-based options more affordable and accessible to everyone.
OYE! Intelligence software was tasked with providing an analysis of 3 different fast-food restaurants (KFC, Burger King and Carl’s Jr). OYE! reports deliver insight on what English, Spanish, and bilingual speaking Hispanics, as well as African American consumers, have to say about any particular topic. These data analytics provide an effective way to monitor trends and behavior among online users. In the case of plant-based meat, the analysis can provide insights towards relevant topics of conversations, as well as providing a spark to create relevant, in-culture marketing campaigns based on this data.
