Market Segmentation

Understanding the PEOPLE that matter the most in the MOMENTS that matter the most

Market segmentation is a core part of our quantitative market research approach. It helps brands unlock growth by understanding who their consumers are, what they need and the situations that drive their choices.

 

We focus on 2 complementary segmentation frameworks:

Persona Segmentation

Persona segmentation groups consumers who think, live, or behave in similar ways based on their shared characteristics such as attitudes, lifestyle and habits

Demand (needs-based) Segmentation

Demand or needs-based segmentation looks at the moments of demand, the situations in which people use your product or service. By grouping similar situations together (the when, why, what & where) we uncover the needs that matter most when decisions are made.

A simple example: the Breakfast World

Where the magic happens

The real power lies in combining persona and demand/needs-based segmentation frameworks.

Together they create a realistic, action-oriented landscape of consumer demand forming a strong foundation for portfolio strategy, innovation and growth decisions.
