Most recently the CCCMA presented the Association's point of view for defining Total Market, Cross-Cultural and Total Market Enterprise(tm) at an industry forum. In addition to presenting the definition, a member of the CCMCA shared a case study on how the approach was used to develop a cross-cultural strategy for MetLife Direct Business. This shared deck provides a point of view on a topic within the marketing and communications industry.

45. THE APPROACH + SOLUTION
• To address the decline in access to Life Insurance for Middle Market customers (those making $100K or
less), in 2009 MetLife launched a direct to consumer LI business for the first time, leveraging the Internet
and call centers.
• While MetLife completed a segmentation analysis and determined who our key target customers were back
in 2011, we did not include the right sample size reflective of the New Marketplace.
• Working with our Agency, we uncovered an opportunity to market to multicultural customers using the Total
Market approach.
• The approach helped us with the following:
Resolved the organization understanding of value
Developed and considered products for the middle market(MM), multicultural(MC) and underserved
markets (US)
Developed a communications platform inclusive of the MM, MC and US segments for the first time
Where appropriate, delivered segment specific experiences for the MM, MC and US segments

50. TOTAL MARKET LESSONS LEARNED
1. The Total Market approach requires a re-education for market planning at the Enterprise
level
2. Everyone in the organization has to understand the significant value of the New
Marketplace (Minority becoming the Majority)
3. Insights inform all products, channels and investments
4. The cross-cultural strategy better informs the brand platform and it does not compromise
go-to-market efforts for Hispanics, Blacks and Asian segments
5. The creative and communications brief is more effective as a result of the Total Market
approach and Cross-Cultural strategy
