Acumen partnered with EastWest to translate their strategic plans into clear, customer‑segment‑driven initiatives. The focus was on making growth priorities actionable and aligned across the organization.

The challenge

Customer segments were managed through product‑led structures vs. a holistic, bank-wide view of customer needs and journeys. EastWest also needed clear segment prioritization and differentiated value propositions to drive acquisition and cross‑sell.

What we did

We helped EastWest sharpen their customer strategy through the following:

  1. Aligning leadership on a clear bank-wide sub‑segment definitions and prioritization using an attractiveness–winnability investment framework
  2. Conducting research to define and size customer archetypes
  3. Creating and validating a unified set of value propositions that addressed the needs of the priority segments

The impact

EastWest gained clarity on priority segments, enabling faster, more confident investment decisions. Research‑backed value propositions improved acquisition, cross‑sell, and relevance across key customer segments.

In their words

Acumen provided the framework and guidance to help us have a better understanding of the various segments. This helped us create the value propositions. They provided the expert voice that was crucial in getting the various (bank) units to agree.

Their strengths are the framework they provide and the actual marketing experience where they imparted their wisdom. The team from Acumen was really very professional and knowledgeable of the subject matter.
