<p>The point for marketing to <em>ANY SEGMENT</em> is to <strong>educate, ask them what they want, then engage them accordingly</strong>. Yes, I know we are in different countries &#8211; the premise is the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Authentically and accurately marketing to the market share you are pursuing.</strong></span></p>
<p>I find the statement by this writer (if it is accurate to the Bittersweet Project&#8217;s interview here) still off target.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;&#8230;with the aim of making beer more appealing to women&#8221;</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not about making it more appealing; it&#8217;s about <strong>finding out what the heck they want</strong>, what they don&#8217;t want and taking it forward from there.</p>
<p>If they don&#8217;t find it appealing in general, this is a futile exercise. You need to<strong> ask the &#8216;why&#8217; behind the &#8216;what&#8217; first </strong>- before you take action so you can know what action to take.</p>
<p>Kristy, tell me you do focus groups expressly with women to find out what they like, what they don&#8217;t like about beer &#8211; any one&#8217;s beer, not only  Molson Coors UK. Or fly me over and we can work together to make sure the point is on target &#8211; <strong>for the women, about the women, of the women.</strong></p>
