2016 Global GME Candidate Segmentation

2016 Global GME Candidate Segmentation

Understanding Candidate Motivations

Understanding the global candidate pipeline through a study of motivations and behaviors conducted in partnership with IPSOS.


ABOUT THE STUDY

In 2016, GMAC kicked off a global GME candidate segmentation study in partnership with IPSOS, a well-known market research firm, to help drive industry growth through insights on the motivations of the broader GME candidate pipeline. The study identified seven global segments that have distinct differences on what motivates them to pursue GME, including the desire to be a role model, provide for one’s children, develop skills and impact society.

WHY SEGMENT ON MOTIVATIONS?

The marketing that can be developed based on motivations resonates more with customers than marketing that is developed based on demographics alone. It provides a way to connect on an emotional level and inspires action. Motivational segmentations are also universal, avoid cultural bias, and remain stable over time.
