BIG is a powerful platform for data and consumer insights, making it a window into a wide variety of information. Holidays are a great opportunity to narrow that information down and look for trends. In honor of #InternationalWomen’sDay, we compiled data from some of the women in the BIG community to highlight the many ways in which they help make the world go round.
Note: The results are NOT based on the total number of users in the BIGtoken app. The results are based on the total number of users who answered each question individually. This is due to the fact that questions in the app are skippable or sometimes time-sensitive.
