Why geoTribes Segmentation Works

geoTribes segmentation is based on a sophisticated spatial model that combines national census and public microdata and is updated regularly for population changes. Using these non-PII sources, we extract two key drivers of consumer purchasing behaviour, media consumption and psychology, being socioeconomic status (SES) and lifecycle stage.

Socioeconomic status, based on Education, Occupation and Main Earner Income is a discriminating measure of consumers’ spending power and disposition to purchase better quality goods and services, enjoy a broader range of lifestyle experiences and engage in more sophisticated need states. The needs variation across the SES spectrum can be categorized in terms or Maslow’s Hierarchy, with basic and safety needs dominating consumers in the lower strata, where non-discretionary purchases, poorer health and the desire for a ‘better life’ prevail.

Higher SES consumers have an expanded range of self-fulfillment needs such as better fitness and health, cultural experiences, travel, culinary sophistication, household and health services, elite education and personal development, prestige motor vehicles other discretionary purchases and a universalistic world view.

Each of the 15 geoTribes Segments has a unique position within the socioeconomic status and lifecycle stage space and with each tribe the people tend to have similar personal narratives, attitudes and preferences – likes, dislikes, aspirational figures and compulsions to purchase ‘must have’ products and brands. While individuals inevitably vary on personal dimensions, their similarities on these shared traits makes geoTribes a uniquely powerful needs based segmentation framework.

Tagging Process

The geoTribes Segments show distinctive geospatial concentrations due to the importance of current and aspirational SES and lifecycle stage as factors in the choice of a place to live. This means that neighborhoods and suburbs tend to be characterized by high concentrations of particular geoTribes. The segments are tagged to audience, customer and survey research databases in a process of environmental inheritance. This process uses sophisticated probability calculations to translate high segment concentrations, in addition to the dwelling type and the age band of each individual database record to allocate a ‘best fitting’ lifecycle stage, socioeconomic status decile code and person level geoTribes segment.

Because the segments are derived environmentally, they tap into profound and persistent consumer characteristic(s) which is highly complimentary to traditional research measures and provides a geospatial route to media activation.
