Marketing and Optimal Target
Apparently it’s Printup the senior director of marketing who is assigned the task to make decisions about Metabical. These decisions about Metabical will decide the fate of the drug. If it is observed closely there are many other stakeholders involved that will eventually decide about the fate of this drug. Printup would decide the marketing and public relation strategies to push the drug in the market.

According to this definition and the case on hand, Printup must decide on the parameters according to which she should start the segmentation process. I suggest using the psychographic segmentation as basis where consumers’ lifestyle is
