Let’s take a closer look at how one of our media clients uses the platform to find advertising opportunities that reach their audiences more effectively.
From Ideation to Execution
Our media client is a cable television channel with a vast portfolio of shows that appeal to many different demographics. Breaking down your audience’s demographics allows you to understand them better and identify what brands best align with who they are. Let’s start by taking a closer look at the channel’s main demographic and how that can inform their advertising preferences:
– Female: 51%
– 35-44 years old: 17%
– $100K - 200K HHI: 22%
– Married: 43%
We then took a closer look at their top products and services genres to discover their interests and passions.
Eco-Friendly Electric Vehicles: 2.10x
Creating partnerships that align with audiences is more important than ever before. As electric cars become more popular, it also becomes more important for car brands to reach the right audience. Helixa’s capabilities allowed our media client to know if their audience is more interested in eco-friendly electric vehicles than the average United States consumer. This audience is 2.10x more likely to engage with them, making electric vehicles a great potential partner for our media client.
Knowing that your audience is enthusiastic about a genre is only half of the task. It’s also important to know which car manufacturers are popular with your audience. With Helixa data, we can drill down to see which electric vehicle manufacturers our media client’s audience engages with the most.
1. BMW i - 3.32x
2. Nissan Electric - 2.41x
3. Chevrolet Electric - 2.30x
As we all know, EVs do not come cheap, and these popular EV manufacturers come in at different price points. Chevrolet Electric EVs start at $31,500, Nissan Electric EVs start at $43,190, and BMW i EVs start at a whopping $55,900. But when we did our demographic analysis, we found that our media client’s audience is more likely to have a household income over $100,000 than the average US consumer. This audience can afford their favorite EVs, including their top choice, BMW i. With this analysis, our media client can confidently approach BMW, Nissan, or Chevy and present a strong data-driven pitch for why these car manufacturers should advertise on their television channel.
