What We’re Sharing
Brighthouse Financial (BHF) was seeing significant market shifts. COVID brought with it new ways of thinking about saving and investing, the investment landscape had become more multicultural, Gen X’ers began to enter retirement, and the traditional definition of affluence was evolving. There was a need to rethink the segments they’d been using to better address today’s market. In our session, BHF and Vital Findings will share the approach we used to refresh a segmentation, and embed it within the organization quickly, all while future-proofing it for continued evolution and growth.
In our session you’ll learn:
- How to evolve your segments as the market shifts
- How to make sure your segments are inclusive
- How to seamlessly involve stakeholders from start to finish
- How to identify future segments to fuel growth strategies
- How to evangelize the new segments to ensure quick adoption
