    position their products to appeal

    specifically to that segment at
  • 00:00:18
    McDonald's segmenting is Central to
  • 00:00:20
    their marketing strategy but the burger
  • 00:00:22
    giant takes a different approach to
  • 00:00:24
    segmenting than most companies
  • 00:00:26
    traditional consumer package Goods
  • 00:00:28
    companies such as Fredo
  • 00:00:30
    organize their marketing department by
  • 00:00:33
    brand and so you will have a brand
  • 00:00:36
    manager on Doritos or a brand manager on
  • 00:00:39
    lays etc etc at McDonald's instead of
  • 00:00:44
    having a brand manager on Big Mac and a
  • 00:00:47
    brand manager on french fries what we
  • 00:00:50
    have are segment managers and so at
  • 00:00:53
    mcdonals you will find a director of
  • 00:00:56
    young adults a director of women mom a
  • 00:01:00
    director of
  • 00:01:02
    africanamerican consumers a director of
  • 00:01:04
    Hispanic consumers Etc so that structure
  • 00:01:08
    all by

    itself puts McDonald's in a position to
  • 00:01:14
    really maximize targeting marketing
  • 00:01:18
    efforts in order to Target markets

    every day all week long collecting
  • 00:01:33
    information and data about the different
  • 00:01:35
    segments that each of our marketing
  • 00:01:38
    people are responsible um you know are
  • 00:01:40
    responsible for understanding and what
  • 00:01:42
    we pull from these segments are insights

    insights focus on the values needs and
  • 00:01:59
    life style of each segment using these
  • 00:02:01
    insights each segment team creates a
  • 00:02:04
    positioning profile for every product
  • 00:02:07
    then the creative team uses these
  • 00:02:09
    profiles to produce ads targeted to
  • 00:02:10
    relevant segments as well as to the
  • 00:02:12
    general
  • 00:02:14
    population in the case of our southwest
  • 00:02:16
    chicken salad we learned from our
  • 00:02:20
    consumer uh intelligence that this salad
  • 00:02:24
    presented such a cool variety of
  • 00:02:26
    ingredients that the General market
  • 00:02:28
    would find that comp sing so if you look
  • 00:02:31
    at our ads that were targeted to the
  • 00:02:33
    General market you'll see the emphasis
  • 00:02:34
    on the variety of fun things in the
  • 00:02:36
    southwest chicken salad hi can I get a
  • 00:02:39
    southwest salad with Crispy Chicken and
  • 00:02:41
    I want that new thing with the grilled
  • 00:02:42
    chicken and tortilla strips you know it
  • 00:02:44
    has that real creamy dressing oh and I
  • 00:02:46
    think some lettuce on the other hand if
  • 00:02:48
    you look at the African-American
  • 00:02:50
    consumer advertising we learned from
  • 00:02:53
    marketing intelligence that the
  • 00:02:55
    African-American consumer is less
  • 00:02:57
    inclined to uh cons consider a salad as
  • 00:03:01
    a substitute for almost any of the
  • 00:03:02
    sandwiches we have at McDonald's and so
  • 00:03:06
    uh instead we needed to develop our
  • 00:03:08
    message in a way that said to this
  • 00:03:10
    segment this is a hearty
  • 00:03:13
    filling interesting and exciting salad
  • 00:03:16
    if you look at our Hispanic consumer
  • 00:03:19
    segment the southwest chicken salad is
  • 00:03:22
    full of ingredients that are that
  • 00:03:24
    resonate with with culture and Heritage
  • 00:03:27
    and are compelling ingredients to
  • 00:03:30
    Hispanic segment for a whole different
  • 00:03:32
    reason the Asian consumer requirement
  • 00:03:36
    includes variety of taste and tasting
  • 00:03:40
    new and different things and so what we
  • 00:03:44
    presented in our advertising that was
  • 00:03:46
    targeted to Chinese and Korean Americans
  • 00:03:50
    was the whole notion of this variety of
  • 00:03:53
    ingredients and a new exciting taste
  • 00:03:57
    Target marketing has proven to be very
  • 00:03:58
    successful for McDonald's by
  • 00:04:01
    understanding the various consumer
  • 00:04:02
    segments and positioning their products
  • 00:04:04
    to appeal to each segment McDonald's has
  • 00:04:06
    been able to increase overall sales at
  • 00:04:09
    McDonald's there are a couple hundred
  • 00:04:11
    people who work full-time just keeping
  • 00:04:13

  • 00:04:16
