Pro tips

Target Audience Media Consumption Analysis
  • Request specific demographic and behavioral data for your target audience, as media consumption patterns can vary dramatically even within similar demographic groups.
  • When analyzing potential channels, consider not just where your audience spends time, but where they’re in the right mindset to engage with your specific type of product or service.
  • Test small campaigns across multiple channels before committing to a full strategy, as self-reported media consumption doesn’t always match actual engagement patterns.
  • Look beyond traditional media metrics to measure attention quality, not just quantity — a smaller audience with high engagement can deliver better results than a larger disinterested audience.
