M A R K E T ING & ADVERT ISING: Tr a d itio nal

Media Report:
Who Why What
When Where!
Nielsen introduced
their media total
audience report a few
weeks ago and the bottom
line for local retailers was
this: You cannot generalize
or predict media potential
reach without a thorough
and dynamic analysis of
your own potential marketplace. But there are some
interesting factors that
stand out across age, race
and cultural demos. For
instance;
 There is a lot of 'simultaneous' usage of various,
available digital and traditional platforms across all
age/demo categories.
 Radio is still #1 in total

audience reach during an
average week, reaching
more than 92% of all Americans, more than any other
platform.
 The top three total
audience reach mediums
(in this order) are radio, live
and time-shifted TV, and
app/web on smartphones.
 The only place to be
after 11pm is on TV.
 Adults 18-34 spend
more time on digital than
any other media or any
other age group. 18-34s
are watching very little live/
time-shifted TV.
 DVD usage is rapidly
declining.
 Smartphones enjoy

the greatest percent of
ownership in TV households (90%).
 'Over-the-Air' (not
connected by cable) TV
usage is growing in all
demo/cultural segments.
 Prime Time reach
is still 7-9pm, peaking at
9pm.
 There are marked
differences in racial/ethnic
media usage. Asians listen
to very little radio. Hispanics listen to a lot more
radio. Black audiences
watch substantially more
live/time-shift TV than
other races.
 Smartphones are
most consistent in time/

usage across all ages,
ethnicity/races, averaging
2.5 hours a day.
 Over 50% of all adults
use digital devices while
watching TV, and 70% of
those are looking up information related to viewed
content.
The biggest takeaway I
derived from this 18-page
report was that you must
understand your local/
regional marketplace
audience target to maximize your media spend
effectiveness. Unfortunately, most automotive
marketing vendors try to fit
automotive clients into the
mold of their products and
processes.
If you conduct a onepage media habits analysis with each customer at
delivery, you will not only
find out what mediums
the buyer is influenced
by, you'll be able to better
determine a more efficient
media plan filtered by the
type of vehicle (model,
new, used, etc.), zip code,

MEDIA USAGE BY TIME OF DAY IS AN IMPORTANT
METRIC TO LOOK AT. IF YOU WANT TO HIT THE
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN EVERY
AGE GROUP, JUST PLACE ALL OF YOUR ADS AT 9PM
AND ALL WILL BE FINE."
