A marketing approach which proactively integrates diverse segment considerations. This is done from
inception with rigorous purchase drivers insights of all segments, through the entire strategic process and execution, with the goal of enhancing Brand value and
growth effectiveness. This could lead to several approaches:• one fully integrated cross-cultural approach, • individual Hispanic, African American, Asian, or
White Non-Hispanic segment approaches • or in many cases, any combination…• depending on growth opportunities, drivers,
barriers and fit with a Brand’s experience, but always aligned under one overarching strategy.

SSG Wellness Spectrum assigns each individual with a Wellness Score. This ‘FICO-like’ score is individually based on specific wellness attitudes & behaviors.
The individual Wellness Spectrum scores can be aggregated by brand, class of trade, channel, category, generational level, ethnicity, race, etc.
The Wellness Scores aids marketers to understand their buyers through wellness patterns, barriers, and engagement drivers to focus growth strategies on the appropriate level of wellness receptivity.
Wellness PersonasConsumers Migrating from Savvy Indulgents to Busy
Strivers and Fit & Holistic
Fit & Holistic live by the motto: “You are what you eat and wear.” They understand and
incorporate healthy lifestyle choices. They
shop with the environment in mind, purchasing organic food products and listen to the
doctor.
Busy Strivers make a great effort to balance their busy lives, yet are more driven by convenience rather than health. They might try to sneak in a Pilates work out to shed some excess pounds. They like to have semi-prepared foods, that require little
additional work.
Savvy-Indulgents are cost-conscious individuals who do not care to cook. You probably won’t find these individuals at a gym but may catch them
playing some soccer with friends. They are hunters in games, actions and mindsets and will not compromise taste for wellness sakes.
