Evidence and segmentation basis
The data, behaviours, needs or commercial variables that can support meaningful grouping.
Audience evidence
Audience Segmentation & Targeting
I organise the available customer and market evidence into meaningful segments, assess which groups are commercially worth prioritising and document the implications for positioning, offers and marketing.
The decision
When “our audience” is too broad to guide a real commercial choice.
Useful segmentation groups customers by meaningful differences in needs, buying behaviour, value or strategic fit. It does not create decorative personas from assumptions.
I review the evidence the business already holds, identify plausible segments, test their usefulness and recommend which groups should receive priority. Where evidence is limited, hypotheses are labelled clearly rather than presented as validated facts.
Which customers are most valuable or strategically important?Which needs and buying behaviours genuinely differ?Which segments can the business serve credibly and profitably?What should change for each priority audience?
What you receive
A defensible targeting decision, not a list of invented personas.
The work connects customer evidence to commercial priorities and downstream strategy.
Candidate segment profiles
Clear descriptions of the groups, their needs, buying context and relevant differences.
Attractiveness and fit assessment
An evaluation of value, growth potential, accessibility, competition and the business's ability to serve each group.
Targeting recommendation
The priority segment or segments, with implications for offers, positioning, messaging and channels.
Scope

It starts from £750 and is scoped to your brief.
Why is the price shown as from £750?
Audience Segmentation and Targeting is bespoke, so the fee depends on the scope of your market and evidence. The £750 figure is a genuine starting point; the final fee is quoted after a short written brief and agreed with you before any work begins. No VAT is added, as Nadine is not VAT registered.

No. This is strategy and blueprint only: which segments to prioritise and how to reach them, documented for you or your chosen creatives to act on. Nadine does not produce visual design, advertising or day-to-day execution.
