The document outlines a marketing plan to establish a unified brand image and strategy. It begins with defining the problem and analyzing audiences. Four key audience clusters were identified through clustering analysis - High Risers, Dream Chasers, Underrepresented, and Elders. Further analysis of each cluster found High Risers prefer quality over celebrity influence, while Dream Chasers seek social status. The plan proposes creating brand tension between "Classy" and "Cutting Edge" to attract different audiences. It then outlines the marketing funnel and specific strategies for each stage, including influencers, CSR, website design, and loyalty programs. Key metrics are identified to measure awareness, sales, sentiment, and emotional responses. Weather data is also analyzed to incorporate

Employed k-modes clustering ,for unsupervised learning
Goals: Find distinctive customers segmentation and identify key differences
Used machine learning k-modes clustering to create 4 distinctive clusters
Why 4, because it gives the best validity scores (0.8)
Run 1,500 times (5 reruns with 100 iterations for each)
Way to interpret data : Out of all people agree of statement X, Y% of them belong to cluster Z
Maybe do a pie chart

Combine percentage dataset
2 clusters emerge as our target cusomters : High risers and dream chasers
Reasons :
Relatively use more phone than the others two
Perfect age range
High risers have high income
Dream chasers use more social and phone
Did not choose elders becuase they dont use phone, and not fashionable
Different Expectations and Reality
High risers errs on risk-averse. They are not looking for social validation. They’re looking for a sure thing, high-performance , high-quality
Dream Chasers wants to be validated. They want to climb the social status (ambitious)
But their reality is different . That’s why they want to turn their expectations to reality and our products can do that

Based on audience cluster:
The products are at premium price, reflecting its high quality and social status. On the other hand , they utilized the premium materials and patented lens, to create a high performance product with cutting edge technology
So ,now we have a brand image, but how do we increase the brand awareness, and through what channels ?
First Impressions
Many of us are taught at a young age to look people in the eyes. That learned behavior makes sunglasses the first accessory many people notice. Style, therefore, is a critical facet of sunglasses to emphasize in marketing. Make sure your advertising materials reflect people who epitomize the aspirations of your target market. If your customers think your sunglasses look cool and hip in your marketing materials, they'll be more inclined to picture how they would look wearing the same shades.
Customers will not wait around if retailers don’t provide a seamless service: indeed, millennials can switch between media platforms at an average of 27 times per hour. Brands need to support this service with social media content.
