SEGMENTS
An audience segment consists of standard data attributes defining a group
of unique I.D.’s that have accomplished a task (e.g., conversion) or fit a
description (e.g., Soccer Mom).
Lookalike models use the same data sources as an Audience Segment to
find other unique I.D.’s that have a similar set of attributes (e.g., the Soccer
Mom audience segment has 12 million other Unique I.D.’s with the same
attributes.)
Response models do not use a pre-defined set of data attributes, rather
the AI has no constraints and builds audience segments based on the
data attributes that define a converter (e.g., purchaser, clicker, etc.)
Contextual modeling is done by real-time machine learning in by adding
data attributes defining the moment the audience segment is currently in
(e.g., time of day). Contextual modeling is done via billions of daily
observations by AI.
Emotional modeling adds emotional triggers (e.g., currently hungry vs. full)
and / or real-time mindset data (e.g., satisfied vs. unhappy) to create a
deeper layer of insight and accuracy into a customer’s propensity to
convert. This creates the foundation for Empathetic Marketing.

Business Transformation: Disruptive Technology + Consumer Behavior + Economic Impact
When Kaufman was a young child, she wrote her one and only fan letter to Greg Brady (Barry Williams), which went unanswered. So, at Snapple, when she realized how many people were trying to connect with the company, she took it upon herself to answer all the letters, since she remembered how terrible she felt when he never replied. This led to her being referred to as "The Snapple Lady".[citation needed]
When it was discovered that Kaufman had been answering Snapple fan-mail in her free time (because nobody in the office wanted to do it themselves), their brand new advertising agency, Kirshenbaum & Bond, developed a campaign around her energetic personality. She appeared in television, radio, and print advertising until 1994 wherein she answered letters written to Snapple with witty responses. Kaufman's 1990s Snapple ad trademark was to appear on camera with her head barely peeking out over the Snapple reception counter, giving the viewer the impression that she was incredibly short in stature (She is officially 5'2"). Wendy continues to get a kick out of telling people that she was the real "Head of Snapple".[citation needed] She would begin each commercial by saying in a thick New York accent that she received a letter from a particular Snapple fan, who would then be included in the commercial.
Kaufman's humorous Snapple ads were well-received, especially among members of Generation X[citation needed], and she was partially responsible for a jump in Snapple's sales from 23 million dollars a year to 750 million a year in 1995.[citation needed] She was sacked in 1994, upon Snapple's sale to Quaker Oats. However, when Quaker sold Snapple to Triarc brands in 1997, they reinstated Wendy as the Snapple goodwill ambassador.
Facebook's researchers set out to gauge the impact of positive and negative posts on around 700,000 users in a study conducted in January 2012.
The key takeaway, as far as Facebook's data folks were concerned: "emotional states can be transferred to others via emotional contagion, leading people to experience the same emotions without their awareness." In other words, when shown more positive posts, people were more positive in their own subsequent posts. The same effect occurred with negative posts.

Since 2014, Yes Lifecycle Marketing has provided data, technology and agency services to Silver Star Brands, one of
America’s largest direct-to-consumer companies, as it continues its transformation from a mail cataloguer into a true
multi-channel retailer. Silver Star Brands consists of six brands selling gifts as well as health, wellness, and household
products: Miles Kimball, Walter Drake, Easy Comforts, Personalized Things by Exposures, Native Remedies, and As We
Change.
As part of Yes Lifecycle Marketing’s commitment to helping Silver Star Brands achieve their business goals, our insights
and analytics team worked to uncover missed revenue.
Yes Lifecycle Marketing suggested testing display advertising as a means to re-engage Silver Star Brands’ inactive
subscribers. The insight from this approach would then be used to evaluate the eectiveness of the display channel and
inform future marketing program strategies.
Enhanced Data Increases Number of Targets
After the audience was identified, Yes Lifecycle Marketing reviewed the file and enhanced it with additional online and
oine data which resulted in more complete and accurate information for 264,000 records from the initial 647K
audience. This process also improved the likelihood of each audience member to be matched to a consumer ID, which
would enable Yes Lifecycle Marketing to target that consumer with display ads. Ultimately, Silver Star Brands’ audience
file yielded a 64% overall match rate – a dramatic increase over the 50% industry average. The remaining 36% of the
initial audience which were unmatched and thus could not be exposed to the display ad became the control group against
which Yes Lifecycle Marketing would benchmark the performance of the matched segment.
Analysis of Test Results Goes Beyond Traditional Metrics
To enable an in-depth, cross-channel analysis of the eectiveness of display advertising for inactive subscribers, Yes
Lifecycle Marketing compared the behavior of the matched audience segment (subscribers who could have seen the
display ads) to the behavior of the unmatched audience segment (subscribers who could not have been exposed to the
ads.)
The test group had 10% higher sales than the control group across all online and ofline channels
• 275% ROI for the display ad test
• 42% lift in email engagement
• 29% lift in online purchases
