Mosaic Segmentation Experian is the leading supplier of consumer classifications in the world. One of the segmentations they have created is Mosaic Scotland. It is part of a family of household and neighbourhood classifications that covers the whole of the UK. It classifies Scotland’s consumers into 57 Types aggregated into 14 Groups. Mosaic Scotland is designed specifically to help identify the characteristics that make living in Scotland different from the rest of the UK. It paints a rich picture of Scottish consumers in terms of socio-demographics, lifestyles and behaviour, and provides a detailed understanding of Scottish society. To build Mosaic Scotland, Experian takes a four stage approach:
1. A macro analysis of societal trends in Scotland. 2. Identification of the most appropriate data sources as inputs. 3. A sophisticated proprietary approach to clustering unique to Experian. 4. Fieldwork and market research assist in validation and interpretation of the segmentation.
