Partnership Overview

Anything Possible Brands (APB) is a fishing tackle supplier that offers innovative rods, reels, lures, apparel, and more to anglers of all experience levels. 

For APB, 2024 was a year of big ideas. The fishing tackle supplier had a list of product concepts they wanted to test with different segments. 

Hannah Chapman, Associate Marketing Manager at APB, discovered Knit in her search for a market research partner that could help her team execute a thorough research project quickly. 

“Knit stood out to us because of its advanced approach to consumer insights and its ability to provide tailored, data driven results,” she said. “We were particularly impressed with the flexibility and depth of the platform, which allowed us to segment consumers in a way that aligned with our needs.”

• Clarify the frequency and nature of their fishing trips
• Identify their preferred shopping channels for fishing equipment
• Discuss the types of fishing gear and equipment they prefer
• Identify reasons why they replace or upgrade their fishing gear
• Offer up their opinions on different rod & reel combo concepts
