Small and independent agencies are expected to deliver big-agency results, often with a fraction of the resources. Clients demand strategic insights, but limited budgets, fragmented data, and niche audiences make it challenging to deliver. Without reliable, privacy-safe data at scale, agencies are left guessing. Pitching new business feels risky, strategies lack evidence, campaigns lean on instinct, and vanity metrics too often judges performance.
Arima’s data analytics platform changes that. Powered by our privacy-first Synthetic Society dataset, it gives you enterprise-grade insights and modeling power , without the cost or complexity. If your agency is looking for the best end-to-end marketing tools to uncover audience intelligence, build data-backed strategies, optimize media spend, and evaluate performance, all within one platform, Arima is built for you.
At the core of Arima’s Population Simulator is the Synthetic Society, a statistically representative, privacy-first dataset created using a peer-reviewed, academically published methodology.
The Synthetic Society combines data from trusted sources:
- Census data
- Market research surveys
- Mobility patterns
- Purchase behavior
The result? A PII-free asset describing synthetic individuals with over 40,000 attributes each — giving agencies rich, reliable, and actionable audience insights without compromising consumer privacy.
End-to-End Marketing Tools for Agencies: What’s Included?
Arima’s platform supports every stage of the agency workflow, from pitching to campaign wrap-up, so you can deliver results with confidence.

Arima’s tools:
- Persona Builder: Define detailed personas with behaviors, demographics, attitudes, and shopping habits.
- Cross Media Planner & Location Optimizer: Uncover local market dynamics, size opportunities, and map rollout strategies.
Example:
One agency used Arima to win a payday lending client by:

They didn’t just pitch, they proved their strategy with real data.
Data-Driven Strategy Planning for Agencies
When planning strategy, evidence beats instinct.

How it helps:
- Deep, data-driven audience understanding

Good strategy needs equally strong execution.
- Runs “what-if” scenarios

Independent agencies often serve niche or hyper-local markets where data is scarce.
Arima’s InstaPoll:
- Uses Synthetic Society plus advanced LLM reasoning to replicate real survey responses

Example:
A client used InstaPoll to identify communities most interested in homegrown food, shaping a successful statewide campaign for food self-sufficiency.
