From the Paper:

"These consumers are located in all of Kellogg's markets, primarily in North America and Western Europe. Kellogg's primarily targets females, who are considered to be the main shoppers. They target all ethnicities, but their primary focus is on the major groups - Caucasians and African-Americans. All income levels are targeted (they have Kashi for higher income brackets). All parts of the family life cycle are targeted by the different cereal brands. Some target groups are segmented by psychographics - the organic and Inner Health segments, for example. To narrow down personality traits of cereal eaters, it is best to choose on particular cereal line, so for Kashi these people are concerned about health, prefer to be seen as making intelligent choices and are discerning shoppers. Kashi eaters are motivated by organic status, taste, and lastly by price. Three distinct lifestyle traits of Kashi eaters are exercise, preference for quality foods, and relatively busy in the morning. For most cereal products, there is a mix of usage patterns - some consumers eat the same cereal everyday, others rotate different cereals and others still prefer to eat different types of breakfast food at various times."
