The Evolution Of Advertising!

Categorising Audiences

Demographics are statistical data relating to the population and particular groups within it. Eg. Income/tax/job Using a letter code to show their income bracket is one way of describing audiences. This is the ABC1 socio-economic model for categorising audiences: A- Top management, bankers, lawyers, doctors and other highly salaried professionals B- Middle management, teachers, many 'creatives' eg graphic designers etc C1- Office supervisors, junior managers, nurses, specialist clerical staff etc C2- Skilled workers, tradespersons D- Semi-skilled and unskilled manual workers E- Unemployed, students, pensioners, casual workers Socioecomics is a field of study that examines social and economic factors to better understand how the combination of both influences something. Eg. Age/sex/gender. The lifestyle categories model for categorising audiences is: Cowboys- Make money quickly and easily. Cynics- Always complaining Drifters- Don’t know what they want. Egoists- Get pleasure out of life. Groupies – want acceptance of those around them. Rebels – want the world to be how they see it. Utopians- People who want to make the world a better place.
