Laura Kerrigan provides a summary of her approach to segmented marketing. She begins by gathering existing marketing data from local ACDC markets through discussions with local marketing and sales teams. This information is compiled into databases to understand audiences, capabilities, and needs. Customer personas are then established based on segmentation of end users. Finally, the consolidated insights are presented to global teams to identify any gaps between local and global strategies. The goal is to develop local market toolkits that match the segmented knowledge and drive sales through tailored marketing materials.

Lancashire. Over the years my focus has been on
Global Digital, Strategy & Activation across 53 local

3. 1.1WHOAREACDCLighting
ACDC is made up of two parts, global and local. We should not
act independently of each other. One is not higher than the
other. We are a team with the same goals. Global is the creator
and and keeper of brand. Local is the deliverer, advocate and
data generator.
The Segmented Marketing Manager acts as a bridge between
global and local.
The goal in segmented marketing is not just to tell everyone in
local markets our global perspective then enforce it. It is to unify
our shared knowledge and build a sustaining relationship with
each other. Global do not wish to provide local with assets that
are of no use or govern brand messaging with no shared ideal.

4. Market segmentation is a technique that groups our customers with
similar needs and common buying behaviors into segments. These
segments become the basis for targeted marketing. A marketing
segmented approach essentially matches products and services to the
buyers interests, behaviour and geography.

POSITIONING
Through segmentation, you can identify niches with specific needs,
mature markets to find new customers, deliver more focused and
effective marketing messages.
Messages should be designed for each segment to emphasise
relevant benefits and features required rather than one size fits all
for all customer types. This approach is more efficient, delivering the
right mix to the same group of people.

5. KNOWLEDGE IS POWERTHE RESEARCH PROCESS 2

6. At a global level we need to create a journey of discovery to
implement at a local level. This can evolve depending on what we
learn from our local peers and varying touchpoints. It is a
starting point that future ideology should be born from. Initial
Global marketing needs to start from a local market perspective.
Once established we can speak from a point of knowledge and
authority to local markets for a brand and product edict.

Upon discussion with local markets the elements that impact

Although Barrowford, UK are the keepers of the brands integrity
across all markets local market managements teams clearly have
knowledge that Global do not. Sharing mutual understanding with each
other can only help grow the business and ensure the strategy and
creative assets relevant and useful. We need to discuss local market
nuances across the Hospitality, Residential, Retail and Outdoor
Façade segments.

There are multiple areas we need to cover internally
at a management team level but it essentially boils
down to data and insight collection. It is not enough
to tell me, we have to record it for measurement.
Ideally this will be an established lead generation tool
we can utilise initially and advocate in the long term.

13. The Salesforce have direct access to our customer. I am sure it feels
like Global are a million miles away and are almost abstract in
existence. The time has come to get in touch and consolidate the
knowledge into a central point. The wider business needs to know
what Salesforce know about ACDC customers and market from
potential clients that haven’t purchased through us for one reason or
another, to our existing or past acquisitions
In return we will enable new leads for new business in new and
existing areas.

It is customary to send a test questionnaire to any existing database
and beyond as a sense check. This will not only allow us to ensure the
integrity of what we know but also build on it.
Interviews: Talk to a few people that are broadly representative of our
target audience. In-depth interviews let you gather useful qualitative
data to really understand what makes our customers tick.
Surveys: Surveys let you reach more people than interviews, but it can
be harder to get as insightful answers.
There are pro’s and cons to all data capture routes.

15. Once we have all the existing knowledge in place I can evaluate how to
clean it, explain it and test it.
This will need to be presented in a visual and stimulating manor with
key insights and next steps.

16. Consumer Personas are pegged to distinct market segments.
Imagine your varying customers, we will identify their more general
attribute's that are unique to your market. Conceptually our
customers personas and sub-seqments will help our business to
reconcile consumer needs and desires with the resources of ACDC
lighting. Demographic information is typically included in what we do
(segmentation metric). The most common demographics include
education level, age, area of residence and so on but obtaining a more
detailed understanding of our customers, habits, industry, strengths,
needs and weakenesses will ultimately improve the success of a
marketing campaign or product launch.

The primary audience remains the same but the specialism of
industry individuals can vary. In Marketing terms we would consider
these trade.
The secondary audience although more obscure are the parties often
associated with good OWNED and EARNED channel marketing,
content creation, events and public relations
WHO IS OUR AUDIENCE?
When we are creating personas we start with data
that has been tested not from hearsay.
• Do our segments is differ to the end user?
• Does an architect work in both retail and
hospitality?
• Does a supplier deliver to both residential
architect and builder?
• Does our current audience drive future content
and sales?
• What are their habits when consuming
information?
We can establish a start point and evolve it…..

18. This is the stage of the process where the local market mapping and
strategy is presented to global teams.
It is at this phase that we would need to consider what it tells us
versus objectives. Does this information reflect where you thought you
were? If not, what should be done.

20. A local market toolkit is essentially a user journey of knowledge and
assets. How do we help local markets deliver the brand, the product
and ultimately drive sales?
There are many ways to build a toolkit but the key factor is ensuring
the toolkit matches the segmented knowledge that we hold.
• Do we create a bespoke central repository for salesforce?
• Do we create a way of tailoring our marketing materials based on
persona and end user structure?
• Do we unify social media or channels or enable independent
management?

24. With everything we do in marketing we can never keep a status quo
when it comes to knowledge. For every product plan we just be
deciding how to measure it’s success long before it’s rollout.
At the same time we need to maintain an open dialogue with local
marketing teams to ensure that it works for them. When a toolkit is
sent we need to be asking the question ‘was it useful to you?’ and ‘how
can we do it better?’
