FINDING & SPEAKING TO TARGET USERS IN
EMERGING MARKETS
Paul Malicki
Once upon a time there was
an emerging market you
wanted to conquer…
An emerging market [for marketers]:
An audience which has some
characteristics of a high LTV cohort and
usually congregates in a very few
difficult-to-reach and non-scalable ad
spaces.
THIS IS AN EMERGING

Targeting users in emerging markets - Paul Malicki
If you seek for reach on LinkedIn, short text posts
are as effective as image-based content.
Videos do not work.
The more inspiration, meritocracy and meaningful
personal success stories, the better.

The Fact of the day.
There are just 20 high-LTV
neighbourhoods in Brazil
Tactic 1:
Geo-fencing:
Facebook,
Google, local
solutions
Tactic 2:
Auto-liking /
following
(visitors of
selected
venues)
Those guys were auto-liked
Tactic 3:
Waze Ads (pure
branding)
Round 4. Remarketing
Tactic 1:
Retargeting
towards your
LinkedIn
contacts
“Congratulations on your excellent
results”
Tactic 2:
Retargeting
towards your
app users
Round 5. Engagement

Round 6. Discounts – is it a
no-go?

“DISCOUNTS
CHEAPEN THE
BRAND”
Discounts are a must in any
emerging market
Round 7. Loyalty Programs.
What changed in the last
year?
Loyalty Program today:
• More categories than in the past
• Advanced segmentation
• Multi-channel: email vs push vs social vs ATL vs card
Ultimately, you need to treat a loyalty program as a marketing
channel. Revise after the first 6 months of intense comms and
acquisition.

Round 8. Partnerships: the
“secret groups”
It’s very unlikely that you can
run a business in a tropical
country without entering into
strategic alliances
THE CONCEPT OF SECRET GROUPS
This is a secret group
Prospect finds out
about the promo on
partner site
User accesses the site of
Farfetch F6 e and registers
themselves.
User purchases through
www.farfetch.com/br/f6/
User receives a free
voucher
User have their
product delivered
abroad
MASTERCARD PARTNERSHIP
SELECTED CONCLUSIONS
Paul Malicki
