Solution overview
Swiss Sense started out by wanting to create persona led attitude segments but through a collaborative iterative process working with the Experian consultant team, quickly moved into using Mosaic as this gave Swiss Sense a solution that was the best fit for what they needed.
Working with Whooz initially in the Netherlands, Swiss Sense quickly understood that Experian could give them a factual based view of customers, using a combination of Global and in-country Mosaic profiles. Swiss Sense wanted a partner that could help them to deliver a consistent approach across all the countries they operated in, hence choosing Experian.
In addition to providing data and analytics consultancy, Experian created a bespoke Tableau dashboard to deliver Mosaic data and customer insights directly to the end users – helping drive adoption and uptake of the segmentation strategy.
Using Mosaic segments, Swiss Sense were able to see which regions were over indexing for their ideal customer types and ran offline media campaigns to drive increased footfall and brand awareness.
