How Understanding Customer Segments Helps Brands Grow Stronger

EPISODE OVERVIEW
Wharton marketing lecturer Annie Wilson explains how brands face challenges when different customer segments have incompatible expectations. In her and Tyler Wry’s book, The Growth Dilemma, they highlight how segmentation, identity signaling, and brand architecture affect long-term growth. The conversation explores frameworks for managing segment relationships, the risks of ignoring value-based segmentation, and how AI can assist in identifying emerging conflicts.

In this podcast, Wharton faculty dive into what inspired their studies and how their findings resonate with the world today. Learn how research insights translate into knowledge you can use, with host Dan Loney.
