Sršen knows that an analysis of Bellabeat’s available consumer data would reveal more
opportunities for growth. She has asked the marketing analytics team to focus on a Bellabeat
product and analyze smart device usage data in order to gain insight into how people are
already using their smart devices. Then, using this information, she would like high-level
recommendations for how these trends can inform Bellabeat marketing strategy.
