VI. <strong>Psychographic</strong> Segmentation Analyses<br />
C. LifeMatrix Segmentation<br />
LifeMatrix was designed by <strong>MRI</strong>’s sister company, <strong>GfK</strong> NOP, to help place consumers in the context of their life stage, lifestyle and their<br />
personal values. Ten segments have been developed.<br />
• Tribe Wired are digital, free-spirited, creative young singles who are pursuing entertainment and adventure to complement their<br />
lifestyles; they are motivated by learning and seek out new and unique experiences<br />
• Fun/Atics value having a good time, and live an active, free-spirited lifestyle; they tend to be aspirational and likely to be students<br />
or young singles starting out in their careers<br />
• Dynamic Duos are well-positioned, hard-driving, high involvement couples with tremendous opportunities, both personally and<br />
professionally; they are leaders in defining the digitally-connected household lifestyle<br />
• Priority Parents tend to be driven by traditional family values and consider themselves responsible parents and care-givers;<br />
they are motivated by a desire for intimacy, stability and a sense of belonging<br />
• Home Soldiers are home-centric and family-oriented—busy with family and work, they do not participate in many personal<br />
leisure activities<br />
• Renaissance Women balance work, family and a myriad of cultural and educational activities; they maintain an optimistic outlook<br />
on life and are active, caring, affluent, influential moms<br />
• Rugged Traditionalists value “manly” things such as the outdoors, nature and automobiles<br />
• Struggling Singles are characterized by continuous struggling, as a result of lower socioeconomic status with relatively little control<br />
over external events; they have values that represent aspirations to what they would like, yet do not have in their lives; they tend to be<br />
unmarried, but have children<br />
• Settled Elders are devout, older individuals who value faith, duty and tradition above other human aspirations; they lead sedentary<br />
and home-centric lifestyles and worry about healthcare<br />
• Free Birds are healthy, confident, energetic empty-nesters with a wide range of activities and interests; altruistic and creative seniors<br />
who spend their time with friends<br />
