Case study: How Swiss Sense developed a data-driven international growth strategy using Experian’s Mosaic® data

by Lucy Simmonds 3 min read January 23, 2025

Swiss Sense drove market-specific growth strategies utilizing Experian's Mosiac data

Swiss Sense’s mission is to provide exceptional sleep comfort for all.The European retailer analyzed their customerdata in one market to better understand their ideal customer profile and scale these learnings to other markets. To achieve this, Swiss Sense used Experian’s Mosaic® data, a profiling tool that segments households into categories based on their lifestyle, interests, and demographics.

Using Mosaic data, Swiss Sense identified key customer personas and tailored their communications to match. Partnering with Experian, they created personalized product recommendations and delivered targeted messaging through direct mail, out-of-home (OOH) advertising, and leafleting campaigns.

What is Mosiac?

Experian’s Mosaic data helps businesses understand their customers better by grouping households into segments based on their lifestyles, interests, and financial situations. It gives marketers a clear picture of who their customers are, so they can create more targeted campaigns.

Challenge: Utilize data-driven insights to drive market-specific growth strategies

Swiss Sense wanted to expand its presence across all of its markets. To achieve this, they analyzed customer data in the Netherlands to identify their ideal customer profiles and replicate their success in other regions.

Their objectives included:

  • Develop regional strategies
  • Integrate data-driven insights into their local and international marketing strategy

The solution to achieve data-driven marketing

Swiss Sense saw that Experian could provide a data-driven view of customers in other countries using both Global and local Mosaic profiles. They chose Experian as their partner to ensure a persona-based segmentation across multiple countries.

This partnership allowed Swiss Sense to:

  • Gain consistent customer insights across all operational markets.
  • Equip marketing and operational teams with precise data for targeting and personalization.
  • Drive adoption of the segmentation strategy by giving end users access to a bespoke dashboard with the data.

Results: Driving targeted marketing and personalized experiences with Mosiac

By partnering with Experian, Swiss Sense was able to seamlessly implement a solution tailored to their unique needs. Swiss Sense gained an overview of its customer base while using the more granular Mosaic data in each country to gain the optimal understanding of each region’s customers.

These insights helped Swiss Sense’s marketing team, allowing them to craft targeted customer content, suggest relevant imagery, and adopt the right tone of voice. Identifying key Mosaic growth segments further enabled Swiss Sense to focus marketing efforts on regions and cities over-indexing for their ideal customer types.

This led to the execution of highly targeted offline campaigns, including:

  • Direct mail flyers delivered to target audiences’ homes
  • OOH advertising in cities where key segments over-index
  • Distributing leaflets in public places such as target town centers

2026 will be marketing’s 6-7 moment

Remember when “6-7” was all over your feed and no one really knew why, but somehow everyone got it? In 2025, the internet proved that connection doesn’t always make sense — at least not at first. The “6-7” meme was random, ridiculous, and everywhere. It spread because it felt connected; an inside joke everyone could share. Marketing in 2026 will have its own 6-7 moment. Experian’s 2026 Digital trends and predictions report explores how 2026 will be defined by connection: between activation and measurement, data and AI, platforms and outcomes. After years of fragmentation, the industry is finally unifying around shared foundations: data accuracy, identity resilience, and measurable performance. Here are three connections to watch for in 2026. 1. AI is only as good as its data foundation AI’s performance depends on the quality, recency, and integrity of its inputs. In 2026, marketers will recognize that the differentiator is not the algorithm itself but the data that informs it. As AI becomes embedded into workflows (from audience discovery to media optimization) accurate identity and privacy-safe data become essential. Why it matters Good data fuels responsible automation, predictive insight, and personalization that feels human. Without it, even the most advanced models will simply automate bad decisions faster. What actions should marketers take to strengthen their data foundation? To make AI adaptive, ethical, and aligned with real-world context, marketers need to strengthen the data foundation beneath it. In 2026, that means taking four core actions: 1. Prioritize accuracy Verify data and anchor it in real human identity, rather than inferred or fragmented signals. 2. Keep data fresh Ensure inputs stay current through continuous updates that reflect real-time consumer behavior and conditions. 3. Maintain consent standards Source data responsibly and stay compliant with privacy regulations emerging across 20+ U.S. states. 4. Enable interoperability Connect data securely across platforms through a signal-agnostic identity framework that supports consistency and scale. When these elements come together, AI becomes more than just automation: it becomes adaptive, ethical, and responsive to real-world context. 2. Commerce media expands beyond retail Commerce media is no longer just a retail play. What began as retailers monetizing their data and media has evolved into a multi-sector movement uniting data, media, and transaction insights. Auto, travel, CPG, and even financial brands are launching their own media networks or partnering with existing ones to close the loop between exposure and conversion.
