Marketing Management Case Study In the case study, the company uses demography as their market segmentation strategy. In demographic segmentation, customers are modelled into groups by particular population markers such as occupation, sex, age, socio-economic class, ethnicity, and income (Tow, 2019). Specifically, the company has narrowed down to the income of their two markets. Andrew, an employee at SparkPlace, coined the phrases, small Sams and Medium Marys, as a way of identifying their target markets. The small Sams are the small businesses run by their owners and have fewer than twenty employees. On the contrary, the medium Marys are headed by senior managers with a significant number of employees between twenty and one hundred. Additionally, the Sams is an easier group to bring on board with each business having a sales cost of less than $1000. Contrarily, acquiring any of the Marys would cost SparkPlace about $5000. However, the Marys are more valuable since they stayed longer and could pay higher monthly rates.

Have more Women Become Involved as Decision Makers in Media Industries? As it is in the case with many other aspects of economic, cultural, and social life in the modern society, the occupation of women in decision-making positions in the media sector remains relatively lower, especially when compared to the labor force sector. According to the EIGE (2013), in the private media firms, women hold about 12 percent of the strategic decision-making posts and only 22 percent in the public media. In this debate, I am more persuaded to disagree with the statement that more women are involved in the decision-making positions in the media sector. Drawing from the existing statistics, there is no doubt that women have been left out in strategic decision-making. I support the push to have more women involved in strategic decision-making in the media industries on two critical grounds. First, it will improve media content, and secondly, it would bring innovative decisions, better utilization of talents, and social justice. Professor Martha Lauzen carries out surveys every year to establish the women’s roles in prime-time…
