Nielsen data now lets advertisers target by demographic group, lifestyle

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font
The Nielsen Company announced new development that provides valuable insight into the media habits of specific demographic segments, allowing advertisers to connect more effectively with key target audiences.  For instance, advertisers who want to reach a segment known as “Urban Elders,” who drive Toyota Corollas, frequent fast-food joints and listen to gospel music, will find them watching daytime soaps, talk shows and the evening news.

The offering brings together Nielsen’s NPOWER television ratings analysis tool with the target marketing services of Claritas, Nielsen’s marketing information provider, and its PRIZM NE lifestyle segmentation product. NPOWER is the analytic tool that Nielsen television clients use to perform customized analysis of television viewing based on the company’s National People Meter database. Through its PRIZM NE product, Claritas classifies 66 segments of the U.S. population based on various socio-economic data, such as income, age, race, occupation, education and household composition, as well as lifestyle attributes that are critical to advertisers’ marketing strategies, such as where they vacation, what they drive and their favorite brands. Using descriptive names that capture the make-up of each population segment, Nielsen will provide a profile of each group and data on their media habits to guide advertising decisions for clients. Claritas pioneered this form of market research in the mid-1970s.

Among others, the segments include:
Blue Blood Estates – the nation's second-wealthiest group, characterized by the six-figure incomes earned by business executives, managers and professionals; Young Digerati –  the nation's tech-savvy singles and couples living in fashionable neighborhoods on the urban fringe; and Bohemian Mix – a progressive mix of young singles and couples, students and professionals.

Combining the NPOWER and PRIZM NE services creates opportunities for clients to perform targeted customized analysis of the viewing patterns of each of these 66 demographic segments.
