Demographics and Psycographics

 1) What information do media companies use to create a demographic profile of their audience?  Using segmentation, they divide their audience into smaller groups based on factors like age, gender, education, social class, race/ethnicity, employment, and home, which refers to the areas in which they reside, such as cities, villages, and rural areas.

2) Why are media companies and advertisers increasingly using audience profiling and not just demographics? 
Because audience profiling increases conversion, despite the common misconception that employing demographics and forming subgroups (the concept of segmentation) is stereotypical. 

3) What psychographic group or groups do YOU belong in? Think about your own interests and lifestyle and explain your decision. Remember, you may fit into two or three different groups!  

I believe that because I always follow the most reputable and popular businesses, I fall into the mainstreaming psychographics group. Additionally, because I enjoy fashion and diverse styles that are currently in style, I fall into the aspirer group.

Their main readership demographic is older people as generally newspapers are normally read by older people. People with a high social class might also read the Times and the news in it is mainly targeted to upper class people.

This contrasts the Daily Mirror as they have football on their front page (CSP edition). 3) Times readers are mostly over 55 years old. Why is this and how is this reflected or challenged by the new stories in the...

statement of intent

 I want to make an eye catching and convincing ad for a new line of flavoured water for GCSE media print assignment. The main goal is to appeal to an audience that is active,  health-minded, and environmentally conscious while emphasising the product's advantages and refreshing flavour.  The commercial's main objective is to present the flavour-infused water as the ideal option for people who wish to stay hydrated without sacrificing flavour by promoting it as a low-calorie, healthful substitute for sugary drinks. To appeal to customers who value sustainable and clean components, the advertisement will also highlight the product's natural constituents, such as actual fruit extracts. I will accomplish this by communicating vigour and enthusiasm through bold lettering and vivid, fresh colours. With close-ups of the components, such as fresh fruit, water droplets, and ice, the pictures will highlight the many flavours of the water while evoking a feeling of crispness and fre...
